  • New Sony PXW- X200…bad press?????

    Posted by Bill Griffin on June 26, 2015 at 3:08 pm

    Hello all,

    I have been reading on other production web sites, that the X200 has a “bunch” of negative issues, as in focus problems and issues with the stock lens…

    I was looking into getting one, but this has “scared me”…as I don’t need to buy a new camera with problems….

    any feedback on this issue?

    just to let you know there’s a few other people watching this ‘problem’ along with you…

    from the ex1 onwards there seems to be an inordinate rush to get ‘new’ products out before they’ve been fully tested. i am NOT holding my breath that this trend will get any better – more likely worse…*

    *and it’s not just sony.

    i know, i know – it is very worrying. as i just wrote, such things are becoming so commonplace as to deter me from buying anything ‘new’.

    the only problem with being on the cutting edge is you can easily bleed to death…

    i’ll wait maybe a year till things sort themselves out – or maybe two and pick up a used bargain 😉
