Sony sucks. There, I said it. Does that "challenge anybody's intellect"?

We've owned a HVX200 for more than year.

We had various Sonys before then.

To be honest with you, anyone who uses the word "sucks" in a sentence in a professional video editing forum doesn't challenge anyone's intellect in my view.

Discuss features or lack thereof, post, etc. But do it in a way that explains, rather than condemns.

And I don't known why this thread hasn't been closed.

Everybody had Sonys before. But then, everybody used to drive Chevys. You adapt to the times and give your customers what they want, or you get left behind.
 
As I said, we owned Sonys and now have owned a HVX200 for well over a year. We bought our last Sony long before the HVX200 was even close to being available.

We moved to it after months of consideration and thought to meet our needs in post, and for DVD production. The Sony long GOPs couldn't produce an image that could satisfactorily be encoded to DVD. The Sony produced a great image in our opinion, and that of our clients. But it didn't hold up in post. We also felt the VFR were an excellent selling point that the Sony couldn't equal.

But Sonys aren't Chevys, and saying that Sonys "suck" brings nothing to an intelligent discourse.

Why isn't this thread closed David?

What does Sony bashing here have to do with the HVX200?

No, you're right. They suck and blow. That's what Bart Simpson, a paradigm of intelligence would say.
 
A friend of mine is XDCAM user and he's reporting 4 dropouts in some thousand hours of footage (btw: XDCAM shows hours of use in the menu). This statistic shows: dropouts definitely HAPPEN with professional discs, but may be very rare....

besides:

I have been using 3 Sony cameras ...... before changing to Panasonic :) - So to say: I grew up with Sony and got adult with Panasonic.

(over 20 years TV-sets from Sony..... and MiniDisc .... DVD-Player ... and more .... before changing to Panasonic. For good reasons in each case.)
