Sony's new blog site
 

I notice that Sony has launched a new blog website for people to leave feedback about products and give them ideas for future ones.

Believe it or not Sony do listen to people, but this seems to be a really good progression.

Sony's New Blog Site - US Only!
 

Nice find Simon but guess what? I tried to register so I could leave some feedback about my EX3 (mostly positive but some tips for the PMW-EX5, whenever that might be) and it only appears to allow input of US address information (state, phone number and zip codes required fields). Sure, I have many US friends who's addresses I could use but that seems daft.

So Sony, my first bit of feedback is that the site needs to be global - not just a US blog/feedback engine!

For those who are interested my review of the EX3 and those tips/suggestions etc. are on my own website (in case you were dying to know what I think of the EX3). It's a link in the More Information page and will be added too/updated yet again in the next few weeks with my latest experiences of using it for corporate work (when I get time!)

Interesting, but seems oriented towards the consumer side. Of course, myself and a few others have been lucky enough to provide feedback to Sony during the early phases of XDCAM HD. So as far as I'm concerned, they do listen. I know at least one of my nits was corrected in the subsequent firmware release.

If you attend one of Sony's free EXperience workshops you get access to a dedicated EX forum hosted by Sony in Europe.

You also get a free DVD, co produced by some bloke called Simon Wyndham

Who's he then?

Handsome Chap. Lots of clips featuring him on the DVD.
