Wow, that was really slimy of them to want THAT MUCH to repair it, and to treat you or anyone else like that. You "abused" your camera, geez. What's the point of a warranty if they can just claim that on anything? I'm not much of a camera person, but boy oh boy will I definitely avoid Panasonic in the future thanks to this. Hopefully whichever new camera you end up getting will treat you right and have decent customer support!
Absolutley.
Marriland Hopefully the technicians of whatever brand he gets is better than Panasonic for pulling a sketchy move like that.
I wanna know how much that warranty costs. Thats a shitty thing to do
Panasonic killed the Haircut Haiku, this time around, damn you, Panasonic, just another reason to be mad at them lol!
StephenCorp is about to make the Panasonic stockholders nervous. No one disrespects StephenCorp and gets away with it!
Well yeah, of course. The camera was abused. By Panasonic.
I thought I'd heard bad customer service stories. My jaw dropped when you said that they said you could not fight the "judgement" made by that "technician". This whole thing is just SOOOO wrong!!
Well, you have convinced me. I now will NEVER buy anything Panasonic. Thanks for the heads up Stephen!
Sounds like a scam to me. You send the product in, they tell you it's been abused, that's it, discussion over, you lose whatever money you spent to cover potential flaws with their product and not caused by normal usage.
longliverocknroll5 Their stock market is way down, wonder if this is there solution? Are they gonna try this on every other customer with dust in there lens?
I think your story is exactly why the camera is all one part, so that way they can do this over and over.
That makes total sense
The only warranty/repair thing I've had to deal with personally is when my Wii U had some weird memory issue and I had to call Nintendo to get it repaired (to functionality if not restoring my saves, which spoiler alert couldn't be done but I was able to replay everything and also learned from this experience and got an external hd). Customer service was super chill and they got my stuff taken care of in a timely manner, with the system coming back just like the day I'd bought it. It helped ease my phone anxiety that during the call, the hold music was the Hyrule Field theme from OoT which was much more calming to me than some tinny elevator music. :D
I have had pretty good luck with nintendo's customer service, my brother is autistic and broke his 2ds in the middle of a meltdown and i explained the situation to them and they were very understanding. He literally broke the thing in half, they charged us like $85 ish for the repair and sent us a free 2 day shipping label so we didn't have to pay for shipping.
I've always had good luck with Nintendo. The only time I've had to pay for a fix was my Wii, but I think it was 2-3 years after I bought it anyway.
Nintendo's customer service has been awesome from my experience, my less than a month old Switch Pro Controller's triggers had completely stopped responding and they repaired it at no charge. I'm so glad it was fixed, because it was also the Xenoblade 2 model and I really didn't want to have to get a replacement.
Time to go back to the Flip
Before watching the video, I was like: Wow Stephen you usually try and keep things positive, what could have possibly happened?
Then I watched the video, and yeah I'm right there with you. That's a pretty messed up thing, claiming your camera(and others) as "abused" with literally no way to fight it. That's just a freaking joke. I never really need a camera, but I'll def stay away from Panasonic and tell others to as well.
Had a friend with almost the exact situation with you, so it was baffling to hear that it was a more common issue. She recently switched to Canon for her photography business because she didn't want to support Panasonic anymore and it was a good switch. Customer service is better for her there and she was glad to no longer deal with Panasonic's nonsence. Just wanted to add another story on top of the many. Hope you find a better company that treats other content creators right
I work for a school district fixing student Chromebooks for a living and if I'm going to charge for repairs I need to absolutely without doubt prove that the student caused whatever damage else I get in big, big trouble with either their parents, the superintendent, or both. We have to take pictures and keep documentation on every case, and I feel that's the way all technicians should have to work. None of this "I say you broke it and there's no disputing" bs.
Hey Stephen, I've been a loyal fan of Canon and I'll say that they have great costumer services. For a DSLR recommendation I'd say go with a 5D Mark iii -IV. If that's too expensive there's always the 80D. A simple but good camera for recording
The 80D is a spectacular DSLR for video recording, but if 4K is a necessity, the 5D Mark IV is the way to go.
If they want the best picture, there's always the 1Dx Mark ii. But that might be over kill
1D-X Mark II lacks the crop factor, though it's six thousand bucks, body only. Doesn't sound worth it.
Great advice man. I've filmed an entire webseries, YT videos, and a feature film on my Canon over the course of several years AND I bought it used in 2015. Canon makes good product. Not always the most up to speed with the 4K options, but they are getting better. I wholeheartedly recommend Canon!
because i like looking into things like this it turns out they not only do this for cameras. They do it for EVERYTHING they sell. TV's ,microwaves, phones, everything that has their name on it they treat the same way after purchase poorly. To a slight degree I do feel bad for the employees, because some are probably just doing their job not wanting to be fired. This is definitely a corporate problem and not a manufacturing problem. If the tech is good that means good people made it, if the sales and such are bad that means the one cashing in only want to cash in more.
which honestly upsets me products should be made for their quality if people like it then make more, but NEVER make something doomed to fail solely so the same people buy and pay more for relatively the same product solely because of shady business practices.
that is one thing i will give Nintendo credit they make products that are meant to last abuse and damage (note i can not speak on technical support so i can't defend or attack that, but) the fact that most products have been designed in that if dropped more than 30 times they will still last shows far more quality then when you drop your phone and you have to get a new one because the screen is ruined.
I just....... I'm studying to be an engineer, but when i hear stuff about companies making products fail whether physically or "legally" it hurts me. I don't want something I design need to be designed to fail or abused purely to make an unfair profit. That's not right.
Bmaster4114 thanks for the heads up my family does not use cameras but the fact that they do this with all of there products is definitely good to know and I will continue spreading the word. Good luck with your studies and finding a job.
Also to anyone else who see’s this comment thread upvote the top comment, more people need to see this.
Thank you ^-^ I only think this is important because Panasonic sells so much. I'm pretty sure i have an old Panasonic TV in the basement. The idea that a such a household brand name is getting away with this is horrible.
Bmaster4114 your welcome and I completely agree
So I want to look at my notifications for the reply I made above because of all the likes, thank you by the way for liking my rant and such, when I was doing so I got an ad for Panasonic a camera I just find that oh so interesting how RUclips decided to make that an advertisement on one of the vlogs that is bashing Panasonic what logic is that
You have hundreds of days of video evidence of you specifically not abusing that camera. That's ridiculous
Man, Sony's looking a _lot_ better all of a sudden...
I'm sorry, but that "all our judgements are final" concept is bull****, and makes me so angry. That's a completely dishonest business practice.
Irony is when a Panasonic ad comes before the video.
Wooow that's ridiculous. As long as the camera does not have any noticeable dents and as long as they can confirm that it hasn't been dropped in water then they should always assume that the consumer is not at fault for the damages. It's not like the camera won't turn on it's literally just that something is caught between the lense. How does dust between the lense count as abuse? I'm so baffled right now.
Going to spread this video around. Since the warranty isn't worth anything, can you maybe take it to Jared and see if he has any life hacks for fixing the otherwise insignificant issue?
I was thinking that too!
he said in the video he was going to send it to amazon under their warrenty
Ah yes, I did hear that part... which is the fourth sign that I need to go to bed if I forgot about it so quickly. I has a duhm moment.
Uhhhh, Panasonic should treat their customers right.
ImpulsiveInferno yeah it's bad
My dad had a similar experience with the Dell computer company. All the computers we'd ever had were Dells. My sister's first laptop was one. One day the screen of said laptop shattered into a million pieces from the pressure of lightly touching it. Should have been under warranty when it was sent in, but they didn't want to do right by us. So we switched over to HP.
Firestar1992 I had a dell for the longest time as a family computer. It was one of those big backed computers that ran off Windows XP I think. It was still under its 5 year warranty, when it got ants (that’s what you get when you have a toddler in the house). We fumed it to get rid of them but they had caused some damage so we sent it in. They REFUSED to repair it, and were even hesitant to send it back. They ended up trying to sell us a new monitor entirely and we had to jump through hoops to get our old computer back... and still pay a service fee because they looked at it. We then also made the switch to HP. They have good products.
What the hell?! That is awful I'll make a note never to buy their products if that's how they treat their customers.
I don't really use cameras but my Dad used to have some Canon DSLR cameras I don't think he ever had any issues with them. I remember when I took photography in high school the teacher even recommended Canons.
I think this is a "can i talk to your supervisor" moment. I would escalate the shit out of this situation lol
I think at that point, I'd need to hang up the phone because I'd be ready to jump through the phone and strangle anybody on the other end lol.
This is the opposite of my recent customer support experience, just last Thursday- not a camera, I’m afraid. My laptop was having a display issue, so I took it in to the Genius Bar and told them what the problem was, and that I thought it was a hardware issue. I have Apple Care, but it’s been less than a year anyway, this is the 2017 MacBook Pro and I got it last July. So they told me the only way it wouldn’t be covered would be if the tech found liquid inside, but I had a keyboard cover so they didn’t think that would happen (it wouldn’t, I’m very careful with any liquids that are on my desk and definitely haven’t spilled anything even on the keyboard cover). They looked at it and ran a preliminary diagnostic, and said that it looked like hardware but had I backed up just in case the tech found a software issue (I backed up before I went to the Apple store, which is just generally a good idea). The guy said that the official time was 7-10 days but for something that looked so simple he thought it wouldn’t be more than 3-5. Sure enough, I got my laptop back Monday morning, three business days later. The lady gave it back, had me open it up to check, and even complimented my LOZ wallpaper. I’ve been using it all week, and it’s working perfectly. That’s how customer support should work, and I’m very sorry that Panasonic has messed it up so badly :(
this is good to know, it's great as consumers to be wary of company practices
Canon ALL day. Have yet to have any issues with their customer service.
Haircut Haiku better be back tomorrow to make up for this. :c
Well I've been looking into cameras so it's good to know what Panasonic does to their customer, especially loyal ones. Sorry that you are having to go through this.
I'm so happy I live in Norway! Here we are protected by the law from stuff like that (and I have studyed the norwegian laws)...And if cases like this happen we have like "a firm" that is watching over the competision in the market and if there is really bad revjues they watch over the firm and do something about it if the firm does not fix it themself. Just hope things work out for you!
My Mom burned into my skull the idea of "always check the reviews before you buy ANYTHING online" Hell I even look at stuff like a 3-pack of movies I want to buy. See if the packaging is not crap (AKA not using cardboard, actual disc trays, thanks) but mostly I look at unboxings on RUclips. Especially for stuff like game consoles.
And when I was buying the parts for my first PC build last year, I was sure to talk to people I knew about the best parts for a "gaming" PC (I mostly wanted something better than the craptop I had at the time, but more power never hurt)
Your mom is a smart lady !!
Sorry, but HOW THE BALLS does dust in the lense count as abuse? ANSWER THAT Panasonic! -___-
Yes mi lord
Thank you for your wisdom
I have a story to share. It’s about a smart TV my family got 2 years ago. It was a Westinghouse TV. We bought it at Best Buy. It worked great for a while. But then out of nowhere it did a thing we called a “color cycle” where it would just display a few different colors on the tv. It took over whatever you were doing on the TV. It didn’t matter if you were watching TV or playing a game when that happened we couldn’t do anything until it stopped.
At first, it would do that rarely so we didn’t do anything about it. But then it happened more frequently that we thought to try to send it in for repairs. We called the Westinghouse Repair Center and they told us to send them a video of it happening in action and a picture of the receipt from Best Buy. We did that and eventually got a reply from them. They said it would cost the same amount for us to ship it to them as the TV cost to buy it! We said that’s ridiculous! The TV was still under warranty when the problem happened! Since then we haven’t bought a single Westinghouse product.
Thanks for this video Stephen. It always interests me with stories like this because I had a similar situation. I hope Amazon helps you out with your camera.
So essentially Panasonic abuses the warranty clause in the worst method
It is all about the money.
LOVE my Cannon. I've not had any issues with needing repair work (yet) sot I can't help on that end, but I know when I've needed help (novice here when it comes to anything better than my phone) with figuring how the thing works or how to get it to do what I want/need, they have been very helpful, patient and understanding.
I've been vaguely considering getting a camera for streaming, so this is GREAT information. Happy to follow the brand loyalty of someone who uses the stuff so much.
Hey Stephen, my only advice with Sony DLRS cameras is that depending on the model they might overheat after 25 minutes of footage. I had one (I can't remember the specific model, I'm sorry) that every time I filmed around 24/25 minutes it overheated and turned off for about 15 minutes until it was cooled off. The image of the camera was amazing, but that part was annoying and I know you guys film long videos.
I hear a lot of people saying good thing about Canon DLRS maybe you want to check them out too.. I have a Canon G7X Mark II for youtube and causal vlogging and I love it. I never had a problem with it.
But I'm sorry you had to deal with this bullshit from Panasonic, I remember watching you talk about it in the Patreon's video and it is still ridiculous... A lot of companies still take consumer service for granted and they don't even realize that that's how you lose loyal costumers. I hope you can find a company you can trust now!
Sony 6500 is my choice for DSLRs. Though they are more expensive than $540.
Honestly, keep us updated on what kind of cameras you end up looking into. As a film major myself (and I'm sure many other viewers following in your footsteps, lol) it'd be super helpful to know the pros and cons of particular equipment from someone who knows their stuff, but who's not trying to sell it to me themself. That kind of feedback is priceless, especially with film equipment considering how expensive it can be. ^_^
Man this reminds me of when my phone had a well known problem of endlessly booting. I called AT&T from the store to ask for a replacement. LG who made the phone said they would replace any phone with the issue and just to go through your carrier to have it done. They tried to tell me I abused the phone because of the cheap rubber grip on the back of the phone had torn a little another recognized defect. They tried to make me claim my insurance which was $180. I told them no and send me a new phone. I was on there for an hour on the phone until the manager of the local store came over and said replacement phones don't come with the backs your supposed to use your old one they cant void anything for that. Then I hear oh whoops Im sorry we will send you a new phone. Since LG was replacing them for free AT&T wanted to make a quick buck.
Was actually recently looking into getting my husband a Panasonic camera for his birthday! Literally had one bookmarked. Definitely won't be buying it now. Thanks for the heads up!
So, long story short, Panasonic technicians have the same IQ as the Apple Store geniuses.
Hey just FYI, there was an ad on this video telling me to buy a Panasonic camera so thank you for saving me
My brother is in the market for a good video camera and I told him your story and warned him about Panasonic. So, thanks for that
Datz crazyyy..wow I jus dodged a bullet ..thxxxxxxx youuuuu for helpn a sister out !!!!¡¡¡¡💅 I'm so , sorry that happen to u !¡ They are gonna miss u eventually along with many more..if they keep that up !¡ Sad , and to me customer service is everything to me personally !!
As someone who's looking into getting a camera for streaming or vlogging for my channel, I really appreciate the warning! I'm not even going to touch panasonic with a 10-foot pole now. I've also shared this around to spread awareness, so they can look forward to losing money now
And then yesterday the first part of the Panasonic Saga was uploaded
Good thing that the camera that I got literally two days ago is a Canon :p
EDIT: I once sent in my 3DS XL to be repaired, as the included stylus caused a scratch on the touch screen (even though I was using it gently). Got it back repaired and with no issues.
Nintendo has amazing customer support
Agree, had my ds snapped in half and they got it repaired.
Yikes!!! That's awful! I'm glad at least that you got the camera back without any trouble. Good on you for fighting back in what little ways you can.
Thanks for the heads up. I'll pass the message on if it ever comes up in conversation. Thankfully there are plenty of other companies that make great cameras. My family mostly uses Canon. No regrets.
POV: You went back through the Old Timeline (tm), saw the saga as it was progressing, and thought to yourself "oh boy..." or something along those lines
Thank you for telling us this story. I know where to not turn to when I'm going to invest in further products!
That sounds awful. It's terrible that you sent it in for a quick repair and they tell you that you abused it and you basically have to pay the price for a new camera to repair it. I don't know what the customer service is like in Canada, but if it's similar to the situation you have I'm definitely not buying Panasonic.
Pretty much same exact experience with the Panasonic G85, perfect working order and no marks on the outside at all! Took really good care of it and somehow the sensor got a crack in it. Well under Panasonic warranty so I thought I had nothing to worry about. Unfortunately I didn't think about using a third party warranty service (I will from now on though, thanks for the tip). When they got it they said that the price was gonna be around $500 for a repair! So we called them and apparently the "damage voided the warranty" when I explained that I took SUPER good care of it, they gave me a weird discount on the repair so now it would cost around $400....thanks Panasonic...so I bit the bullet and repaired it since it was a little too low to get another camera of the same quality. Not happy at all and will not buy anything else from them...
Look into the Sony A7 series, they're tiny, but they're amazing! The pro one is kind of expensive, but it is SO worth it! I want to ditch all of my pro stuff for the Sony A7III.
I should also mention that i am using a Canon 5D MkIII. So not the most portable, but it's great both in photo and video.
I have a Toyota hybrid car. One day I turned it on and the dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree and the gas pedal was super sluggish to make my car go forward. I took it to my mechanic and he said that a couple of the cells in the hybrid battery were not charging all the way and he couldn't fix it and to take it to the dealership. I took it into a Toyota dealer and they did their own diagnostic scan. It came up with cell 7 not being fully charged, so that was dragging the charge down on the rest of the cells to compensate for it. They told me they needed to replace the whole hybrid battery and would do it for me for a total cost of $6035.57 (as if the 56 cents mattered at that point) and they were willing to recommend me over to the sales team if I didn't want to take that option. I was originally going to have them do that, but then I looked into the problem a bit. Apparently it's a not-common problem, but it has pretty consistent symptoms when it does happen. Turns out, if you're willing to put in the time and be careful of being electrocuted you can take the hybrid battery apart and replace each cell. So that's what I did. I got to sit and talk to the technician floor rep after I told the tech guy who did the diagnostic that I didn't want them to fix the problem because he "had to know exactly what [I'm] doing" and informed me that I could be electrocuted. I ended the call with a "I know, electricity bad" and a "I want my car back." and that was it. I bought myself 3 cells (in case some of them didn't hold a charge, good thing too because we cross threaded one of them screwing it back down) and replaced it myself. So a few hours of work, some family bonding time because lifting that battery pack out isn't easy, and $40/cell and my car was good to go.
Also, if that hadn't worked I could've bought a new battery and fully replaced it myself for a little over $1200. Still nowhere close to the $6000 price tag before.
Good on you for informing the public on these types of things. People need to do research when making purchases like that. Despite that though, boycotting them really isn't going to do anything hate to break it to ya. While it sucks when stuff like that happens (and it happens constantly and will continue to happen), you're not doing anything by boycotting buying their products because honestly, BIG SHOCKER; companies don't give a fuck about "customer loyalty". The whole "I spend X-amount of dollars with this company" argument, yeah they don't care and they'll continue to make their money so long as the average buyer continues to buy without doing their research and that's just how it is.
That’s unfortunate that you got messed with Panasonic. Hope you find a great camera elsewhere!
Btw is Mal holding the camera filming this or do you have it on a stand?
Irate Stephen is the best, I love the passion
Wow. That is very dumb. I was thinking of investing in a new vlog camera since I've been using the 300 HS ELPH for over 4 years. I've been leaning towards the Canon G7X mk2, but Panasonic was an alternative so I guess Panasonic is completely out of the window.
get a g7x!! I got mine a few weeks ago and I love it so much!
My plan is to get one once I reach my 1000th vlog! Currently at 925! That gives me time to save money!
I’ve had Sony cameras forever, as has my father, and I love them. Well built and built to last, fantastic pieces of kit
Hey Stephen! If you are looking at Sony their mirrorless A6500 camera is amazing! I’ve been selling cameras for a little while and that is a very popular buy!
I personally swear by Canon. I have had a few cameras from them and they are all great. I've heard good things about Sony. Shame about how Panasonic treats their customers. Keep us updated on what camera you end up going with.
That’s unfortunate. And funny (sad), considering I got an email from Panasonic just yesterday asking how I would feel if they opened up pro service centers around the country. I hope you wrote a bunch of emails all the way up the Panasonic chain - maybe try to get that decision overturned or at least help change their obviously predatory policies.
Also, as a Sony mirrorless owner (a6300), I love their cameras but they overheat like a mofo in 4K. I was actually considering getting a GH5 because those Panasonics are such workhorses. I guess I’ll have to rethink that.
I don't know why I got recommended this at the moment, but I'm glad to have watched it and know to not trust them.
Ahhh I just bought a Panasonic G85...I got it used though hahaha. Hopefully it stays good. Thanks for the insight Stephen.
What they did was totally unethical.
I don't have one myself yet, but I know a bunch of people with Canon cameras that barely had any problems with their cameras and if they did, they got ti fixed no problem. And they're all very happy with them.
yup, i am sticking with Canon.
something similar happened to this JVC camcorder i have, i got it rent to own and i... shocked it (was trying to use it like a go pro while riding my bike) so i sent it to the rent to own place so they could send it to the company, the RTO place ended up just replacing the camera with another one they had cause the company sent a message saying that I "attempted to take it apart". what it was really, the RTO had messily engraved their store name on the bottom of the camera before renting it out so the company saw it as an attempt to pop it open with a flathead :/
As you're someone who's generally upbeat, entertaining and funny, it's kinda scary whenever you're angry :P
😮 we have a Panasonic, thanks for the heads up Steven!
I find it hilarious that there was a Panasonic ad on this video for me XD
Unfortunately, I've never really been a camera person. I have a waterproof Kodak that my mom got me back in 2011 for a trip to Florida, but that's really it.
As for customer service, the only time I can think of that I had to deal with warranty and repairs was back when Amazon was first releasing their Kindle E-Readers. I got one of the second generation models for Christmas, but we didn't bother with a case at the time. I started taking it to school with me, and one day I got bumped into between classes, landed on my messenger bag, and the screen got cracked. Luckily it was still under warranty and Amazon just outright replaced the whole thing. We also learned from that and ordered a case, which was delivered a couple days before we got the replacement. Served me well after that, and I even still have the Kindle today, though I only ever use it when the power is out long enough that I don't wanna risk my tablet dying.
Having worked for a service center I can tell you that dust will get inside any retractable lens. As the lens extends and retracts there has to be an exchange of air. If the camera is kept in your pocket, dust will adhere to the the lens body and eventually get inside. I can fully understand how you feel, but this is not an issue that only Panasonic cameras experience.
I'm not old enough to have a reason to by a camera but I have purchased other stuff and had similar problems though your stuff really inspired me to start a channel so I'm trying to get equipment though it's not easy cuz I'm just 14 years of age
Really a shame, I bought the gh4 on your recommendation and it has served me very well. Not sure if you already bought a new DSLR, but the Sony a7sii and a7siii are amazing!
I highly recommend Canon cameras. I have one of the PowerShot models of digital cameras.
I have a few very positive customer service stories to make you feel better:
So the first one, I pre-ordered a signed and drawn in novel by one of my favorite authors from a small Virginia bookstore. Several unfortunate things happened that winter season pertaining to the delivery of numerous of those novels. I kept checking my shipping status and it said "shipped" for a long time. Eventually, kind of annoyed and confused, I called the bookstore and explained that it's been a while and I haven't received the book when all of the other orders should have been delivered already. So, they checked the order and were equally confused. I live in PA so it should have only taken a few days. Luckily, they found an extra book (odd because there weren't supposed to be extras) and shipped it to me, free of charge. It came within a week.
The next two deal with Kohls. I love Kohls and the amazing savings we can get from them. Well, first, I ordered two different types of bags to put small laundry items in to keep them from disappearing or catching on other clothes. One type came, the other got lost in shipping and never arrived. I talked with an online customer service person via a live chat and they refunded the order and gave my mom some points towards her next kohls purchase.
The second snafu with Kohls came when I ordered some jeans. Everything came on time and I was happy, until I took the pants out of the bag. They still had the security tag on. You know, the magnetic ones that are pinned to the pants? Onward to Kohls live chat customer service. Explained the situation and the guy on there offered me to send it back or take it to a Kohls store. For my troubles, he put a bunch of rewards points on my mom's kohls card. I took it to a store and successfully got it removed. Yes, it did set off the alarms when I walked inside. The cashier lady was surprised I got a security tag in an online order.
last year i got a MSI computer NEW 3 weeks later it would not turn on i contacted there support teem sent it in. 1 week later. got it back and that's what i used to watched this video and type this comment 10/10 would recommend
Fuji film is really good with their warranty like my cameras on and off switch didn’t work and they fixed it free of charge
My panasonic TV has just developed a fault, it's only 10 months old. They've just told me it wont be covered by warranty & didn't give me a reason. Fuming! Never buying panasonic again.
Better than Best Buy! 100$ for a warranty that you can only use once a year, charge you 50 regardless for handling it, and 100 dollars to replace the hard drive regardless of what the problem is. 50 to back it up. If that still doesn’t work, you have to take it in again for another 50, plus whatever they charge to actually take a shot at the problem, which may still not be fixed at that point. And every time it goes into the shop it takes two and a half weeks.
2:22 I didn’t hear vlogging at first...
I had a Acer PC when I was younger, the computer case was small and crowded, so it was bad at cooling.
I get the display card was replaced probably once per one or two summer at a local computer store for quite some time, due to overheating/"burning" the graphics card.
Later I replaced the PC with a HP Pavilion Slimline with a larger case thus better ventilation and never had to deal with that again.
TL;DR version: Go get a PC with good cooling rather than small size, could save you money.
I love your shirt where'd you get it
thats so bizzare and not ok?? wtf panisonic
wow, i have a pair of turtle beaches that i snapped in half and turtle beach replaced them with in two days, with a brand new pair.
panasonic shorted us of the haircut haiku on top of all of this. that truly is unforgivable
As an Electronics Target team memeber, I hope you’ll be happy to know that i will help all of my guest find other recommendations for cameras because of this incident, just pathetic they would even do that
Had a Panasonic ad on this video haha
Just tweeted this video to Panasonic and Panasonic USA
Wow...just wow....that's just insane. BTW, that's the quickest way for a company to get bad news.
YOU'RE NOT DOING A HAIRCUT HIKU????????!!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Japhet Harris Another reason to hate Panasonic
I never get warranties, if something is wrong with the device I purchased I just send it back. I've heard plenty of horror stories about warranties gone wrong. I recommend you watch Angry Video Game Nerds "You Know What's Bullshit" series specifically the episode about warranties. This is not an isolated incident; warranties are bullshit.
I legit just got a Panasonic ad for this video oh the irony
Yeah, that reminded me how I once send my notebook to repair with CD-ROM and the come back sometime Later with how the screen is cracked and I was like how. They repaired the CD-ROM but not the screen.
I'm gonna keep an eye on Panasonic stock for a while, just to see if it starts dropping because this has come to light.
Aw damn, I got my current camera on your suggestion. So it sucks to see this story come to light, and makes me nervous about it.
I work in an appliance store that sells Panasonic and it is the last thing ppl look at because the warranty has to go thought them
Defo go for Sony, good equipment & tech support usually are great from the couple times I needed them
