Customer Review: Not happy at all
I bought this tv for ?628′99 delivered on 07/01/08. Two days later it developed a thin blue verticle line down the left hand side of the screen that just did not dissapear. I phoned Sony on 10/01/08 and they said no problem , faulty unit we will tell amazon to swap it for you as it is in the 7 day warranty period. I have today 13/01/08(and not a week old) received a mail from amazon telling me they will gladly refund me as they are out of stock…. NO THEY ARE NOT ! The t.v’s have risen in price since I bought it to ?899.00 Check for yourself and they don’t want to lose money.. My fault or theirs? Definately theirs … MORAL Don’t buy a thing off these people , they rip you off like all the rest!

Customer Review: Excellent - well worth it
We bought this tv at the turn of the new year from a sony centre (sorry amazon!) to replace a phillips tv that had gone wrong not even 4 weeks after we bought it - phillips were fantatsic about it and even gave us a number to take to the dealer so they would give us the money back for it, Not wanting to risk it happening again we opted for a sony as our last tv we were replacing was a sony trinitron 10 years old and still going strong; it was just starting to show its age being a big and bulky (not to mention VERY heavy) corner piece. The sony shows far sharper and clearer pictures than any other (or at least the same spec phillips we had before) Hi-Def tv, the bravia brand is worth the claims it makes 10/10, teamed up with blu-ray it blows you away. sony is a brand you can trust to deliver time and time again, theyve worked hard to get to the top, they definately deserve to stay there

This item doesn’t come with stand or mounting kit. If you need this kit, please buy from my store or click the ZLD manufacturer. The combined shipping cost will be cheaper

Customer Review: I wrote for a photographic trade association magazine….
I mean on a regular basis for some years, I also ran courses and lectured on B-Tec photographic moving image modules. To me, when I look at the pictures on large screen high resolution monitors - I see great pictures most of the time - HOWEVER, like many good cameras, especially if they’re high-definition or for professional and broadcast work, there are quite a few adjustable variables on the Casio. And if you haven’t downloaded the 150 page plus manual from the website, let me start by saying there are 38 easy select shooting modes including moving pictures with sound that it saves in AVI format. There are 14 different menus for recording including manual & auto focus, timer, anti-shake etc.. 15 menus for quality, white balance, dynamic range, colour filter, sharpness, saturation & contrast. With screen sizes you can go from Poster at 3648×2736 pixcels, to 16:9 and down to vga that’s 640×480. Of course the better the quality you select the more memory you use up with larger file sizes, so dodgy pictures might come from trying to get too many shots onto your memory card. I’d get 309 shots poster size in highest quality and 14,165 shots at 640×480 in economy mode, with 432 in 16:9 high res on my simple 2gb card. Surely there’s something for everyone there? Yes it is small, and although I haven’t got one it does look as through it would fit in a Swan Vesta’s matchbox. For me it’s excellent, and has a better spec than some of the more expensive cameras - but at the end of the day there are an awful lot of things to do to get better pictures yourself - and if you can’t hold a camera still, there is a tripod screw thread in the bottom, no I’m not saying get a tripod, but you could do what a neighbour did to use his camera in his garden, he got an adaptor, screwed that in, and rests the bottom of the adaptor on a garden cane! Oh and for the person that couldn’t find the zoom button it’s the small lever that goes left or right just in front of the shutter button. Get snapping!
Customer Review: 10 MP clearup
Hi there i dont actually have one of these, but my best friend does and they’re really good. Lots of people have been saying the picture quality is no where near 10MP, well actually its all in the optix. It could be 20MP, but if it had rubbish optix then the quality wouldn’t be that good. you just need to fiddle with the settings, chose the right mode for whatever picture you’re trying to take, and just not be so finnicky - after all, its a great camera. And excellent value for money.
