I have a Sony digital video camera. It has a 3.1 megapixel sensor and
produces beautiful video and decent stills as well. Works great.

Sony's quality has been a bit better in the USA for the past few years.
All the kids bought cheap 'boombox' stereo units from Sony.
Each unit failed and needed a repair worth more than the replacement
cost.
We stopped buying Sony at that time.
My next purchase was an S75 digital camera.
It has held up, but the price of Sony's 128meg memory was robbery.

10 years ago it would be absolut true. But in a few last years Sony
makes one mistake after the other loosing money and having to cut
jobs. They loose battles with LG and Samsung on many consumer
electronics fields like displays or portable audio. It can happen
just like you wrote, but in these years it is not that sure.
All manufacturers have their good times and bad but I suspect Sony
has still
got a good foothold, they lasted through the Japanese recession
(which looks
now like it's finally ended). They do much more than just produce
consumer
goods, for instance much of the silicon fab equipment at LG and
Samsung is
likely Sony.
The most recent encounters I've had with Sony were their CRT monitors
which on
the whole were both very good value and solid performers and their
CD/DVD
drives, the ones that aren't simply re-badged Lite-on drives were
superb. Other
than that most of my personal Sony gear is over ten years old but
still going
strong. I suspect that the LG and Samsung names appeal more to
younger buyers,
but I still remember the crap Lucky Goldstar used to push out and the
early
Samsung gear.
