Does LTT hate Sony?

I recently had my own issues with LMG reviews, but posts like this are just so silly. It's a huge leap from "not covered" to "they hate Sony".

The news must love trump, they cover him a lot.

As I see it, there's Apple-style issue. GoPro is market leader and innovator, rest are copying and haven't managed to put themselves at front. 

 

Well, for longest time their main camera's were Sony. @BRollTheIntern's still camera might still be Sony...? So the problem is Sony who are mainly following the trends, not making them.

Sony action cam was actually quite good when it comes to pure image quality stuff if remember right, at least in the hero 4 days. Correct me if I am wrong.

 

Brandon's  personal still camera is actually Fuji. They make great still cameras, but not as popular as Sony.

I love Sony phones and think they are way better than all others but like Linus says no one really cares about them anyway

So by the sound of it its the marketing department at Sony that has clearly ddropped the ball.
Shame its a good brand with good quality product. But nonsense like this will leave them in the dust. Thus they lose sales, lose quality and in the end lose outright.
So i guess RIP Sony if they dont fix that.

I personally like the non review stuff LTT does but I watch Zero of their reviews.

At this point, I don't think any tech company can compete with Korea or China with the amount of features they can cram for the price they're asking and can do that because their profit margins will likely be the same when adjusted for the purchasing power of their local currency compared to any other country.

Sony is likely banking on the fact that its brand was a household name so when you see a Sony product, you instantly go "that's something worth considering."

Not always. You can get compensated for a review and still be impartial. I can do it, you can do it, LTT can do it.

It used to be. Now its more like "i remember when sony made stuff in Japan and didnt have an sjw agenda". Those were the days.

Bottom line is all that matters, shaving cents to make stock prices go up and pay the execs a huge sum and pay the lemmings nothing.

@LinusTech Thanks for caring. I just like hearing your experince and opinions on stuff and those stuff i mentioned were being ignored at the time. What i want to make clear is i know people did not care about Sony or their products and well i also don't care about them. What i care about is when there is a pair of headphones out from Sony that some claim are better at active noise-cancelling than QC35s, i would of course want you to AT LEAST cover them in the video that you made for QC35s active noise-cancellation. Love your work have a great day.

I hope they do hate Sony. Everyone should hate the company that intentionally installed rootkits on their customers PC's

VAIO budget laptops where very poorly made, where they often cracked, and had poor cooling, like Dell really inexpensive systems, and people associated Sony/Dell with cheap quality.

Any particular model or era? I was bought a low end VAIO laptop in 2011 and it is still running strong. No cracks, nothing significant has ever failed and even the Microsoft and Intel stickers are still intact. It carries a good show of scratches and is missing some rubber feet from being hauled around school, college, university and now to work. Its only ailment is a dodgy screen connection inflicted by myself. I upgraded from an i3-2310M to an i7-2720QM (further specs in my signature) and cooling is passable for a CPU it was never designed to accomodate.

 

I've always known Sony products to be of good quality and long lasting from the PS2, an old Hi-Fi system to one of their cameras, a TV and their ZX770BN headphones. I've always found Sony a bit dull as a brand and I think that's why they've fallen by the wayside. Perhaps Sony products are simply overlooked for their poor marketing and PR which in the case of TVs is below par compared to that of LG and Samsung.

 

It would be interesting to see someone compare how the new gen VAIOs fair against those of the Sony era.

 

I also have one of those awful Vista era HP laptops. Insufficient hardware at the time but with Vista speed patches and 2.5GB RAM they wouldn't have been that bad and cooling is very good. Only laptops I've known to have abysmal cooling are Toshiba where the heat sync literally rests on the plastic casing and the fan ran so hot the plastic vent went brittle and disintegrated.

I think a lot of people forget how far Sony has fallen in the 2000s. I have 2 old Bravias but i wont ever buy anything sony again.

@okannn_b happy?

-When they talk about TVs they keep ignoring the Sony TVs which many reviewers and sites claim that they are the best of the best when it comes to picture quality.
-When they were talking about active noise-cancellation they ignored Sony X1000 series headphones which are a pair of headphones that some say are better than QC35s at active n-c and sound quality.
-When they were talking about GoPro Hero 4 they ignored Sony's action cam options at the time which were better than Hero 4s for sure.

I actually don't know why they did not cover Sony these sony products. Sony products considered the best by many and they are kept in spotlight by many when it comes talking about the best consumer electronics, TVs, headphones etc. I would really appriciate if they do cover them when needed, not because i personally enjoy or like sony products or anything like that but because they deserve to be included in the conversation if LTT is trying to cover and compare the best products for the people.

They just did a video sponsored by sony

Just like how politicians can accept donations from big corporations for their election campaigns and remain impartial once they're in office right?
