On 1/8/14, Godfrey DiGiorgi, discombobulated, unleashed: >- My Sony Walkman AM/FM Pocket Radio, purchased in 1985, is still >working perfectly. As is my Sony Walkman CD Player, purchased in 1991. >- My Sony Trinitron 19" television set, purchased in 1989, had the power >supply fail in 2003. It was easily repairable, but not economical to do >so. I held off buying a replacement until 2005, which was a Sony Bravia >flat panel television set. It's still working perfectly ... >- My Sony DSC-F707, purchased new in 2002, I gave to a friend in New >York in 2004. He's still using it. >- My Sony ruggedized digital camera (2Mpixel thing, can't remember the >model) is still being used by my partner. In 2009, Sony replaced its >sensor and completely overhauled it for free.
While staff I used a -Sony BVW-200 Betacam camcorder -Sony Beta SX camcorder Since being freelance I have purchased and used: -Sony DSR-450 DVCam camcorder (8 years and still working perfectly - NO maintenance!) -Sony PMW-400 digital HD camcorder (brand new and a dream to use) Admittedly these are professional products, but all have these things in common: Well built, to last Faultless operation even in adverse conditions Design is first rate with ease of use If I was looking to buy into a top grade still camera system, and the form factor was desirable, I wouldn't think twice about shelling out a lot of money for Sony high-end products.
