Boss is famous due to its quality! Is zoom good as boss? Does zoom provide any warranty? I think boss provides a 5 year warranty that one never uses!

The only Boss unit I've tried before is the ME-70 which I personally think sounds like crap. I don't know if their recent products sound any better though,But the G5 has an amazing sound quality. The amp models, drive/overdrive stompboxes sound organic, real, and they respond as a real amp/stompbox does.You can't go wrong with this

I think zoom is pretty much bang for buck. Never had any issues. My zoom 505II still works!

Durability wasn't high on the reasons I bought the G5 and I can say I haven't had any issues with it yet. I can also tell you that I am very happy with the quality of the sounds and the ease of programming sounds from the computer software.

I have never had boss ao i don't know, but i have a zoom g5 and I'm ver happy with it. Its extremely easy to use the effects are good and easy to modify and the price is very good. It has a drum machine and looper which make practicing and making your own songs very accesible.

I have an older version without the zoom, but I'm getting ready to buy this one. I've had it mounted upside down under an overhang on the corner of a building outside for about 4 years. I know it's not supposed to be used outdoors, but it's held up great. The wireless has been very reliable,,,probably depends on your distance from the router, though. Mine is about 100ft away.

Kai,Like other people already mentioned, you get 1-year warranty from Sony. But, I also bought a 3 year square trade warranty for 49.99. I think it was worth it. I did see a lot of people complaining about camera being stuck (and its not a problem with Sony, Nikon and Canon have the same issue) and to pay from your own pocket can get expensive. I haven't had any issues so far (knock on wood) but I atleast have peace of mind that even if something does go wrong, I am covered. Hope this helps!

I cant say much about a warranty. but im on my second buy. No complaints so far love the power and the bandwidth used it to power 28 ip cameras ...ran better than any thing else"_P" ive used so far I was truly impressed. will keep doing it till they disappoint. make some pretty decent firewalls as well...

The zoom is pretty good good, but up to a certain point (there is a gauge on the screen when you zoom that has a mark). when it gets past that, it changes the resolution so it's not quite a clear, but I've taken wonderful pictures with the zoom. We use it for work everyday, it's a tough little camera and takes great pictures!

I've never bought a warranty that I was able to use. Warranties are a piece of mind comfort food but in reality, you'll never even get one bite. They'll always find a loop hole that says "oh, I'm sorry, had you only done this, you Would have been covered". And to use a warranty, you'll have to stay home from work while a tech comes out, time and time again. I always say, if a product is That good, you don't need a warranty. Just my 2 cents.

Good review, even though 2 years ago. Still good info. I'm thinking for the pro the Little Giant might show better quality after much use, but for home owners the Gorilla might be fine. Just a guess based on unrelated experience.

Nope. I believe it's China. We personally have had absolutely no quality problems, but I've heard of a few who have. Overall, though, I think it's more reliable than, say, the competitive products from Zoom and others in the same price range.

IMO even if you can find how to get a warranty it's probably not worth pursuing. Mine was bad quality out of the box, and the most that the company is going to do is send you another crappy camera. Personally I have just marked mine up to bad judgement. Lou

I've had them for about 3 years, with no problems. No repairs needed. However, I saw a review at the time I bought them that said, phrasing the reviewer, as in all things electronic don't expect longevity. I don't know if that's true, but I have used my IS binoculars only for astronomy, not for my casual birding or other low ordinary activities. I love them for astronomy. Ditto all this for my Canon 15x50 IS ones. My only criticism for both are the lens caps.

I tested both at guitar center before and I found the Zoom to have a ton more options I thought. BOSS makes awesome pedals so some of the heavier distortion is a little better on the ME80 but with all the combinations and effects chains you can create, it is well worth it to go to Zoom in my opinion.

Great lens, but what the current warranty policy is I don't know, except there is a warranty of some sort. Ricoh Imaging bought Pentax - you might contact them. If the lens has been on the shelf awhile it probably has the Pentax warranty card but I'm not in a position to guarantee that. I'm sure Ricoh does not want to alienate Pentax users.

I don't bother with warranties, generally. They are more hassel than benefit. Olympus lenses are well made. In over 30 years of using numerous film and digital Olympus lenses, I have never had a bad lens. I've owned the 17 mm f1.8, for over a year, and it works flawlessly.

I own the previous version of this lens. There was zero zoom creep when brand new, but after a year, zoom creep had gotten pretty bad. It doesn't bother me too much, because I never point this lens downward from a tripod. Just know that if you let go of the zoom ring with the lens pointed downward, you'll definitely have to re-zoom before your next shot. I still highly recommend this lens to friends despite this feature.

This is a new lense I got. As far as the warranty I don't have an answer for that. My lense has been working perfect.

I do love this camera, and have not had any problems, but it is still under the first year warranty. It takes beautiful photos, and, as I am an artist, it is invaluable for my work. I appreciate the info on how to fix the error, so if it should occur with the SX10, I hope I can fix it. I don't know of any other digital with the zoom power of this one, so if that is what you require, do more research, try Consumer Reports, and then decide - it would be a shame to miss out on the very good things this camera can do, and the problem is not listed in the site you sent, for the SX10.

I don't usually buy an extended warranty from any company for anything. Statistically they are rarely worth the cost as most are never used to the extent that they are worth the price. The one I bought is for a Rebel DSLR Camera and I know the minimal cost to repair almost any part of the camera is likely to pay for itself the first I may have to use it. I did not check the cost of a warranty for this camera from Best Buy so I cannot give you a fair answer as far as comparison, sorry. Good luck with your purchase, I believe my purchase was worth the cost.
