To me Sony has always been the company that has amazing products if you're willing to pay for the top of the line, but when it comes to the cheaper stuff then other companies have a better bang for the buck.

Going on an off topic tangent here (sorry guys) but I've always found Sony is willing to charge more because people
think that their products are worth the premium. I used to be a big Sony fan (and I do still buy some of their products) but the quality just isn't worth the extra cost when it comes to a lot of their linups. I currently own a very expensive Sony prosumer film camera and, in hindsight, it was one of the worst purchases I've made in the recent past. It was a spur-of-the-moment, necessary purchase at the time to replace an older camera, but looking back I paid about $3000 more for this thing than I should have, and it came with fewer options than it's Canon, Panasonic and RED alternatives.
All that said, for a piece of equipment that will sit on your shelf and will likely only be touched when you first hook it up and never again, who cares if the HDMI port is a little flimsy or the case isn't made of a single piece of brushed aluminium. I'll still buy one eventually, though I'll have to wait until I can bring it to a friends place who has better download speeds than I.
