Sony's new camera

[elgecko]

It might be time for me to retire the original Sony Alpha A100 that I've had for a few years.

The new Sony being released in October sounds incredible.

I need to see the hands on reviews, but I think I must have it.....

Good luck with that. Every piece of Sony equipment I have ever purchased has failed in some fashion to the point of needing service. I used to think Sony was the best (which is why I originally bought it) but after owning 8 different Sony products (all 8 needing to be repaired at some point), I will never buy Sony again!!

Fred P,
Man that's a terrible track record. I would not buy Sony either if I had that many issues.

I own a lot of Sony products and have never had an issue with any.

I know, my wife and I can not believe it. Everything from TVs to PS3s. It’s been unbelievable. So we have vowed to never touch another piece of Sony equipment again.

I don't know that I'm 8 for 8 but my track record with Sony is similar. If it hasn't failed, I'm probably disappointed with some aspect. When I read product reviews, I just skip over the Sony one and go to the next since I'm not buying it anyway ...
