Prime example of marketing gimmicks, the Sony G-1

[Crazymalaysian]

Have you guys seen this? http://www.sony-asia.com/cybershot/g1/

Collaboration shot,

"Wooo, we can frame an image together!"

"But why would we want to?" :?

I also detest companies that market "DOUBLE ANTI BLUR" modes when it's really just bumping the ISO to 1600 or above, rendering the image extremely noise and it makes for an ugly photo. ST made a comment saying his DSLR has 3 anti blur modes then, VR, high ISO, and high shutter speed.

Any other marketing gimmicks you just cant stand?

Local cars with their so called "special editions" batches.

Marketing and Practical Senses can never work together, hehe. those fat slobs sitting behind their comfy chairs and desk only want one thing = Sales while those who actually use it then realised.....err....dear think we bought something based on what we perceived it to be :D

those camera that market 1000000x zoom but is just a digital one. So many sad consumer actually fall for it.

yeah i agree. it is just lame and they (the manufacturers) just want to promote their products with sort of misleading information to the consumers. so sad.

I don't blame Sony for using terms like "Anti-Blur". Most consumers probably don't know what ISO1600 is. "Anti-Blur" is easier to understand.
