Well it appears my Blog post looking for a Sony HVR-DR60 got some attention someplace at Sony, as I received a e-mail from the Sony Hawaii division saying that they did not have any demo units and had me contact a local retailer.
I knew it was a long shot, my only hope is that someone in Sony’s Pro division will help me get hooked up with one of these units so that we can use one during the Consumer Electronics Show next month.
The key is finding someone that has the juice to make it happen. If all else fails several of you have sent me links to some third party companies that we can go with.
With all the bad mouthing of Sony and even calling for a boycott of their products, did you honestly believe they would give you a free demo?
There is a reason people don’t go out of their way to burn bridges. Especially when they are trying to lure advertisers to their various tech media companies.
Sony has done a lot of stupid things in the past few years but when its time to buy a video camera they are my first choice.
