Sony HandyCam HDR-SR10E ... help :(

[Greg B]

Welcome to the board!

As for SONY and their hardware, I have two rules:

Don't buy SONY products.

Don't buy SONY products because their manufacturing and customer support eats shit.

Every piece of SONY equipment I've bought during the 2000's has gone to shit. SONY doesn't confront the problem and with one handycam the solution was literally to slap it on the bottom! Millions of customers complaining and the high tech answer was to slap it on the bottom!

They went for cheap manufacturing and when they got caught they tried to bullshit their way out of it. Don't even get me started on their Playstation line of defective products.

I bought a SONY cam in '97. That thing went through hell and worked to a 'T' for almost 10 years of continual use. I bought a SONY handycam in 2006 and the fucker has been shitting every other day.

Bottom line, trade the camera in for a better company. Save yourself time and misery.
