Sony is ignoring LCD problem
2008-10-06
 |
| I bought a Handycam DCR-HC32 in March of 2006. In June of 2007 the screen went black when trying to record. I called customer service and they said they know of no such problem and its an 'isolated incident.' I checked on several troublshooting message boards and the same LCD problem is found everywhere. I do not understand how Sony says mine is an isolated incident when its happened to so many others, including some of these reviews on Amazon. To top it off it will cost a minimum of $171 to get it repaired. What a waste of my money, last time I will buy a Sony camcorder. |

Stay Away from this Camera

| First 6 months were great after that it started getting intermittent 'reinsert cassette' errors. No info on how to solve this issue and it would always happen at the worst times spoiling your filming. Now it won't turn on at all. Most expensive paper weight. |

Don't buy SONY

Don't buy any SONY products. SONY is not SONY anymore. Many of their products are crappy and not cutting edge. I bougt a SONY digital camera late last year. It broke within 6 months. I sent it to SONY service center and was told that it would cost more to fix it. I got my money back but bought a Nikon. I also bought this SONY camcorder DCR-HC42. I usually buy the extended warranty, but somehow I forgot to buy an extended warranty on this one. This one broke after 1 and a half years. I contacted SONY and was told that I have to pay $201 to fix it.
I'm hearing problems with SONY products from too many people- TVs, camcorders, digital cameras, even alarm-clock radios. Don't buy SONY. SONY is spending too much money on Hollywood, not on technology development. |

It's not your grandfather's Sony...

Years ago, Sony stood for undisputed, unrivaled quality that could last for a life time. I have purchased a numbers of Sony products over the past few years all based on the faith.
No more.
One by one, that trust has eroded with the failing products. My VAIO can barely holds itself together in one piece, then the LCD display of my DCR-HC42 went blank, not to mentioned all the battery problems that Sony produced...
Goodbye, Sony! the overpriced, under-quality gizmo brand! You have just lost a loyal customer and I am sure you will lose a lot more... |
