Chinese fake (8 photos)

The author of this post talks about his friends who bought a camcorder Sony HDR-CX360E for 18000r.
As it turned out, a Chinese fake, which should cost US $ 30.



Sony HDR-CX360E - «miracle" of China's basement



To us in the repair came Camcorder Sony HDR-CX360E. Judging by the inscriptions on the body, it was HD camera with 10x optical zoom. On Yandex-market this camera is sold at a price of 24 500 to 31 200 rubles. The device is positioned as a & quot; ... Full HD camcorder with superb image quality and smart features. ... High-quality G Lens from Sony is now equipped with improved features wide angle ... & quot; Sample survey has led us into a state of stupor; the quality was just no, it seems there was no optical zoom at all, and worked the camera as something strange. Then there was an uncontrollable desire to explore further came to us a copy and look inside.

Even a cursory examination, it became clear that the manufacturer strongly savings. The body is made of rough plastic, bad elements fit together, though maroon paint just shone, reflecting light falling on it and drawing attention. Sony has always been famous for high-quality stereo sound from their cameras from time immemorial. However, as it turned out, the opening of the model destined to enter the sound waves to the right microphone, were crudely smeared with hot melt from the inside. As it turned out, these holes are just extra, the camera has a single microphone.

Another distinctive quality of complex devices from Sony - it's well made fastening elements with a variety of internal bulkheads and quality of threaded screws, forcing technicians making repairs to sweat. Dismantling the model HDR-CX360E revealed a completely "new" trend leading manufacturers - a minimum of fasteners and the lack of threaded screws at all, instead, a simple low-cost self-tapping screws.



All the interior of the camera, "decorated" mounting melting seems to improve its consumer characteristics. After being removed in the latest self-tapping screws the bottom cover with the inscription «Made in Japan» (which means a "real quality product made by the manufacturer"), all of a sudden she is no longer exposed to the show cast-iron "brick", which aims at -vidimomu, give the "weight" of this unique device. "Brick" was qualitatively attached above melting, plastered on the weighting to the soul in a large amount.



The precipitate "brick" drew huge, not how it used space inside of the body of this gadget. Elegant freedom provides easy access to the few hosts modern and elegant camera.



And the first thing that immediately fell view, was an optical unit, sizes and modesty is simply mesmerizing. There was nothing superfluous, even hotmelt not acted beyond reasonable limits. Strikingly, in a tiny body fit 10x zoom-block with 12 megapixels. The answer is certainly in the modern wing of nano-technology twenty-first century.



The main board also made a good impression. Set of elements in it was more than modest - a microcontroller, memory and a read only memory.



Curiosity continues to push us further, and we unscrewed the final fee - management fee, which in addition to the buttons on the car radio, USB connector and power connector there was nothing else. Power connector very carefully and prudently sawed employees of the assembly shop of the company that it did not interfere when you click on the next button. That is to say that the device was simply brought to perfection. It seems a popular global brand conveyor assembly refused and went to hand.



And if you're still in doubt, that before you present the product well-known manufacturers of electronics, then immediately dissipate your doubts when you see this tablet.

Be careful not to fall for a divorce.
