I have bought several electronics items through Amazon in the last month, including a couple where there was some problem with getting the right thing. In each case, the problem was resolved quickly and properly. So far as I can tell, Amazon deals with a variety of resellers, and does a good job of keeping them in line and responsible.

I usually prefer newegg.com, if Newegg has what I want, as Newegg prices tend to be better, and their computer related selection, my area of interest, wider. But I don't hesitate to go with Amazon if their price is better or they have what I want and Newegg doesn't.

I recommend Amazon.

No one can guarantee that the product will be OK initially; they usually are, but occassionally something fails and then you are depending on buying from a responsible reseller who is willing and able to resolve any up front problems quickly and fairly.

And no one can guarantee that a product will stay OK, nor does whom you buy it from have much to do with the chances that it will stay ok.

Thank you so much, and thanks to all the others who’ve helped.

I can’t find any warranty info but I assume the product comes with at least some basic thing from Sony (the manufacturer). If I had purchased from a brick-and-mortar I’d probably be tempted to buy an extended.
