It's about as convincing as a car advertisement from "Great Wall" trying to tell people that they're idiots if they buy something with more features and better quality than the appalling, unsafe, and unappealing **** that comes out of their sweat-houses in PRC. Sony aren't that bad - and should perhaps try to present themselves as having a bit of class - this campaign makes them look like bottom-feeders. |

They are capitalising on DLSR user stereotypes (the equipment fetishist and so on), which sometimes are quite true. I remember once spotting a guy walking with a big Canon DSLR + lens along the streets of Munich, with the kind of "proud invincible owner of superior equipment" smile on his face. -- Alfred Molon ------------------------------ Olympus E-series DSLRs and micro 4/3 forum at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/MyOlympus/ http://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site |

Perhaps he was a good photographer? Stereotypes are dangerous things at the best of times. If the purpose of the Sony campaign was to say "if you're a clueless idiot - then get a Sony NEX", then they've succeeded. There may be valid reason to get a Sony NEX, but... |

But then again... Doesn't Sony... make... DSLR's? Wouldn't it a be a bit like Apple making a video making fun of clueless laptop users? It kind of lessens the credibility of the videos - what if you 're a Sony DSLR user that see these ads? -- Sandman[.net] |

I found some of those videos quite funny. As in all bad comedy, you have to have somw writer to invent the absurdities of completely unbelievable carricatures of strawmen they put up. Maybe someone will put up a video of Sony-camera users performing such usual tasks as hammering nails in walls with their camera, trying to attach the lens to the LCD, macroshooting flowers with the lens pointing straight up into the sky or being completely baffled at opening the box that contains their camera. Oh, and trying to make a movie with a long lens at the usual 'arms streched out in front' stance and the camera rotated by 97°. Film these clips with an DSLR for additional insult. They are capitalising on DLSR user stereotypes (the equipment fetishist and so on), which sometimes are quite true. So you're saying a (huge) majority of DSLR-shooters is about as intelligent as dry grass and knows as much of their gear as the next cow eating said dry grass? How come Sony doesn't say a single positive thing about their cameras? They could easily point out that some tasks might be better handles with their camera --- they choose to simply say "everyone who uses the products of the competition is a complete idiot" (which is very bad form), and that tells me they can't even *dis*honestly say anything positive about their cameras. I remember once spotting a guy walking with a big Canon DSLR + lens along the streets of Munich, with the kind of "proud invincible owner of superior equipment" smile on his face. Non sequitur. You can't prove a stereotype of a large and present group by spotting a single possible example in all your life. -Wolfgang |
