I started a post but then thought better of it. Tried to delete it but no luck. I had to leave 10 characters...best I could do.

Sorry

I'll finish it for you . . .
Sony does not make bad camcorders. That's what you were gonna say, right?

Re: Test footage from the PXWZ90
 

Doug I was going to say that Sony should hand deliver a Z90 to you. Your reviews stimulate many, many sales. Really cheap advertising for Sony. Yes, Sony does not make bad cameras. I have seven of them and have yet to have a problem. Of course the X70 is a quirky little rodent.

Re: Test footage from the PXWZ90
 

I guess it would be hard to refuse a free camera if Sony offered one, but then I guess I wouldn't feel as free to speak my mind when there are things that I don't like.

If we could only get a proper translation in to Japanese of "The Doug has spoken." :-)

IMHO, if it is a pice of gear you would spend your own cash on to own, it is entirely possible to accept a free one and give a trustworthy pros and cons review. :-)

Doug, have you experienced any back focus issues?

Re: Test footage from the PXWZ90
 

No, not with any of the Sony camcorders that I have owned or used, including the Z90, Z150, EX1, EX1R, Z7, etc.

Re: Test footage from the PXWZ90
 

They send me the ones with backfocus issues, Doug gets the good ones. :-P

Speaking of backfocus issues, Sony sent us a demo PXW-X180 that at wide angle must be manually focussed to 1m close hard stop for infinity...ugh...SONY!!!

It does seem rather odd that you keep getting the lemons.
