    I swear I haven't bought anything Sony since that happened. There are just betrayals that go too far to ever be forgiven.

    To be completely honest with you, Sony hasn't released an interesting product in about 20 years anyway

    Sony makes some of the best full frame cameras on the market. Granted it’ll cost you like $6k but Sony still makes some really good tech. I do not own a Sony products btw. In regards to cameras, I’m using Fujifilm, but they aren’t even close to Sony tech wise.

    I thought so too but recently I actually met a professional photographer who works in marketing, and he told me that Sony cameras produced terrible colours across the board and recommended I go with Canon instead.

    I've got no experience with either brands so no idea, my go-to was always Nikon.

    Nikon’s camera sensors come from Sony. But Nikon engineers always do some magic. That’s why NASA uses Nikon cameras in space. Canon is arguably the best, but also the most expensive and not friendly to third party lenses. Sony lets you put any lens you want if you got the right adaptor. And that photographer you met isn’t wrong, but that is exactly why professionals have to edit their photos after a shoot. With Fujifilm I try to do it all in camera cuz editing hundreds of photos becomes exhausting after years.

    Nikon’s camera sensors come from Sony.

    Really? Huh, always thought they made their sensors in-house.

    Looked it up and apparently they did at some point, but seemingly only in their professional cameras (D2h, D3, D4). But Sony isn't their only supplier when it comes to sensors apparently.

    I honestly don't think I would spot the issue he was talking about without comparing photos side-to-side; I'd probably be perfectly happy with a Sony alpha or something, but somehow I'm skewing more towards getting a Canon now.

    There's A LOT more things to weigh and compare than simply a brand. Canon, Sony, or Nikon, all their latest flagships will make anyone happy. It all comes down to what you want and what you need out of it. I don't need video features or fast action sports, others do. Personally, I'd use any of those 3, but if all you care about is top of the class, then get a Canon. It will be the priciest option, there's a reason most professional use it.

    Their OLED TVs have the best upscaling tech and I am glad they still support 4K Blu-rays because physical media is important to me. Otherwise most of their products have better alternatives.

    This is unexpected, given that Sony had a really great support for allowing bootloader unlock and support for AOSP. Till today you could flash Jolla's SailfishOS on their devices.
