Hey does anyone else here have the new DV magazine with the Sony If it aint broke dont fix it pullout?
 
Re: New DV magazine/ Sony pd-170 pullout.

No, but a wonderful quote I got from another board related to the fact that the PD170 rolled off the assembly line with a hum in the audio -- if you have the LCD panel open, your audio will buzz, apparently.

So somebody said Sony's slogan should be: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it. And if it is broke, don't fix it either."
 
Re: New DV magazine/ Sony pd-170 pullout.

its interesting.. the pullout lists whitebalance modes and it looks like it has white balance settings for each shutter speed.. I kinda would like to know what that is all about.

Looks like "if it ain't broke, don't fix it, and if it ain't correct, don't proofread it."

In other words, I'd bet a whole lotta money that that's a typo, and instead of "white balance" it should say "shutter speeds".
 
Re: New DV magazine/ Sony pd-170 pullout.

I originally thought that.. but there is no way they would release a brochure for mass distribution without going through a few proof/editors.. I mean it is Sony Professional. If it is a typo.. oh boy.
 
Re: New DV magazine/ Sony pd-170 pullout.

Sony's had a lot of layoffs recently. Maybe the proofreading staff went with 'em.

I'd bet a pound of flesh that that's a typo.

(hey, I didn't say it'd be MY flesh...)

I'm going with Barry. It's appalling, the crap that slips through these days. Doesn't anyone know that apostrophes imply POSSESSION, not PLURALITY?

My major pet peeve these days. I was thinking of doing a short documentary on it.
 
Re: New DV magazine/ Sony pd-170 pullout.

.. i was recently scorned on that same subject, and it was added that they also show conjunctions like it's or she's or they're..
