A long time ago, when the Maxxum's came out (remember them?), I used to beg people NOT to buy them. We had so much trouble with them and so many returns, they just were not worth the effort. Still video came along and they got worse. When the digital cameras came out, they seemed to be even worse still.

Don't like to knock somebody else's choice, but get out of it if you can. Get one of the three brands I mentioned and you'll be much happier. Sonly is fine for commercial/industrial video equipment and I guess for consumer electronics. I'm not impressed with their digital still photography equipment for many reasons.

There's my two cents worth. If it helps, I'm glad to be able to offer it.
