I bought a 19 inch sony trinitron monitor which at that time cost around $1200 dollars. after I had used it for several years a circuit (horizontal hold) went out which caused the screen to deform. I took it to a local repairman and he told me he couldn’t fix it because sony would not allow independant repair shop access to the required software which was needed to reset the machine after it was repaired. He told me I would have to call sony and send it to one of their authorized repair shops.
I called sony and they told me their nearest shop was in Atlanta and that the minimum charge would be over $800 dollars. In other words they had no interest in helping me fix the monitor they wanted me to buy a new monitor. By then the prices had fallen to about $600 for a comparable monitor from Viewsonic. I promised myself that I would never ever buy another product from sony and I never will. If anything goes wrong with your product you are on your own.

We purchased this camera and I was so excited to start using it. We received it quickly from Amazon. Opened the box, installed the memory we purchased and started shooting pictures. While the camera took pretty decent pictures, the viewer showed the pictures upside down and the landscape photos in portrait.
Unfortunately, after 2 attempts with the customer service/support at Sony, they told me it was broken and to send it in for warranty repair.
After spending over $200 and having it 2 days, I was not getting a repaired camera. I felt they should of offered to send me a new replacement.
Went back to Amazon to exchange and no more in stock at that price so return is my only option. Now I have a Sony Cybershot case and memory for that camera but no camera.
Extremelhy Disappointed!
will not purchase another Sony product.

Let me start by saying that this is the 5th digital camera that I have used in my life. What I look for in a digital camera is one that can easily be used out of the box, without having to start fiddling with all the settings. I bought the Sony DSC-H20 based on the mostly positive reviews here on Amazon and based on another family member buying a Sony (not this model) and saying that they loved it.
Frankly, I can’t see why people give this camera such glowing reviews. Pictures in intelligent mode with the flash on came out with colors way off. I took a picture of a maroon red pair of shorts, and they came out looking light red – almost pink. When I turned the flash off, I got a much better picture, but still nowhere near as good as the pictures I used to get on my Kodak Z1015IS. And besides, the whole point of intelligent mode is so the user shouldn’t have to play around with the camera to find the right settings for every shot. I also found that the camera insisted on using the flash outdoors on a sunny day in intelligent mode, which again made the pictures come out with the wrong color.
In short, compared to Kodak cameras, the picture quality of this camera doesn’t even come close. If you care about the colors being correct, I would stay away from this camera.
