Interestuing to see how Sony will fare in the future. My understanding is that the Sony brand is quite strong in Japan and in the US. However, in the rest of the world Sony is just another anonymous consumer electronics manufacturer, most known for entry products like the walkman, with no more brand status (if any) than Panasonic, Samsung, Sanyo or anyone else. So I can't see they will sell much on the brand name alone. They have a far weaker brand recognition than Nikon and Canon and even Pentax. For me, Sony's brand recognition is one of putting spyware onto musinc CD's. I don't find the brand especially inviting.
