 this is Amit Dan of AmitDan.com. Today I'll have a slightly different type of video. I'll talk about my video cam or handy cam Sony CX-455 which is right here and I'll try to show you the model number which is Sony CX-455. The camera may not be able to pick up the whole number but this is the Sony CX-455 and I have had this camera for two and a half years and served me pretty well. I went to many countries with this camera and this is one of my first cameras when I started you know being very active on YouTube so this camera had traveled many countries and actually at one time in India I dropped this camera on concrete so it was about two to three feet drop but it's still the camera kept working. There's no problem but there's a slightly little bit dent on here which I don't know if you can see it but it's right here it's even very hard to see. So after the drop the camera stopped working because you know the lens cover wouldn't come out or wouldn't open but then somehow you know it just started working again when I tried the next time. So in terms of price, image quality, image stabilization and it's very lightweight so it has lots of very good features and this is one of the very good cameras for beginner YouTubers but now I don't use a video camera handicap anymore I just use a regular camera and GoPro or other action cameras. So the reason I'm doing this video today that after two and a half years the camera suddenly stopped working. So if I show you the lens cover you can see that you know it's open but it's supposed to be closed when the camera is off so that's where the problem is. So let's try what happens when you you know open the camera. So in order to turn this camera on all you have to do you have to just like you know you know pull up the lid or the cover so if you do that then the camera turns on but it's not happening anymore. So for example okay so you can see that you know the LCD display right here is not you know coming up and it's not even turning on so what happens when you open this then the lens cover on here try to open but now what's happening it's not happening it's not doing anything so for example I'm opening it and looks like you know the lens cover is trying to close or open but something is happening but it's not you know doing anything and you can hear that turn on noise you know over and over and that's where it stays. Let's try this again. So the camera past is one year warranty and then even I had another additional year warranty provided by trade card which is passed as well. So at this point you know I cannot do anything with this camera and you know I if I send it to Sony to fix it probably they're going to charge something and you know I don't want to do that because I'm not really using this camera but it doesn't mean that you know I'm unhappy with the camera it provided me very good service for two and a half years and I'm totally satisfied with that because you know this camera had worked very well and I did lots of videos with this camera and I took this camera to many countries and I had good and bad times with this camera so that's what I wanted to share because when I bought this camera about two and a half year ago I had a video reviewing this camera which has you know some good comments and some good views and I just wanted to follow up with you guys that you know this is what's happening right now so it's not no longer working but I still believe that you know this is a good camera with very good picture quality and very good image stabilization and if you want to see my old review I'll provide a link in the description box below but that's one of the old reviews and my reviews I believe were not that good that time and you can see if you you know watch that review. So thank you for watching forget about subscribing this channel forget about liking this video there will be more videos coming up so I'll see you shortly thank you
