Disadvantages: Missing crucial features, terrible manual, user-unfriendly, unreliable, useless tech support

...Don't. Just don't. I know, that was some way short of the minimum word limit, but honestly it's the most important part of the whole review. I have my problems with Sony products in general, in particular their deeply irritating refusal to use non-proprie ...
