Sony Australia Caught Faking Videos From The Xperia Z

The Sony Xperia Z is a great phone, but Sony Australia started raising eyebrows when it said that its videos of the recent Daft Punk launch party in Wee Waa were all shot using the new flagship phone. Castle Awesome investigated the claims, and caught Sony red-handed.

When Richard over there at Castle Awesome started sleuthing his way through the Sony Australia YouTube account, he noticed that a lot of the videos — particularly those shot in Wee Waa — said they were shot with the Sony Xperia Z.

The Z is a great phone, but perhaps not that good.

When Richard got in touch with the director of a fly-over video that pictured the Wee Waa showground from the air, he confessed that the video had been shot with a Canon 5D Mark II, not the Sony Xperia Z. That’s pretty embarrassing stuff.
