Since Vic's company-issued laptop is stripped down to the bare essentials, he needed a web cam so we can communicate via Skype. He borrowed a digital video camcorder that could work as web cam too. We got excited about it because it was so compact. It looks very hi-tech too. Vic didn't want to give it back, initially.
When he was unwrapping the gadget, Vic said, "Naloko ata si Dad. Walang binigay na memory."
Upon installing the device, he got suspicious. "Meron bang Sony na camera na ganito ang installer? Pero, sige, subukan natin. Baka okay naman."
When he finally finished installing it, it won't work correctly. It doesn't even zoom. Ay!
Here are other tell-tale signs that what we got is a fake:
1. The lens didn't say Carl Zeiss
2. Look at the strap
3. If I remember correctly, Sony uses Memory Sticks not SD cards, as seen on the upper right portion of the camera.
4. Look at the warranty card. Click on the picture to zoom into the first statement.
AT ang pinaka-giveaway
Well, well, that's chopping in Hong Kong for you.
