An interesting consumer report and survey was published this month by McKinsey Quarterly highlighting the fact that most consumers never use the advanced and expensive new features on their consumer electronics (CE) devices. By surveying nearly 2,500 people along with in-depth interviews, the results indicated that consumers are looking for easy-to-use CE products, priced 30 to 50 percent lower than the standard offering.
Forget all the bells and whistles, people want simple, quality products and features that they will actually use. A very interesting finding from their research was that durability was by far the most important aspect of quality for most CE customers.
DXG’s core focus has always been on making simple, affordable, quality digital video products that provide an intuitive and fun video capture experience for our consumers. So, it looks like we’re right on track as we head into 2010!

ABC-TV Chicago taps the Consumer Electronics Association for projected consumer spending for the holidays and the gadgets that are hot on the shopping list. The DXG Luxe “couture camcorder” is one to watch.
September 30, 2009 — Holiday shopping forecasts are generally grim, but it appears that shoppers still want to buy electronic items. A survey by the Consumer Electronics Assn. shows that consumer confidence in technology and consumer electronics jumped, while confidence in the overall economy fell slightly in September. That indicates that consumers seem more willing to spend dollars on electronic products that other goods. The survey indicates sales will stay steady or increase for digital TVs and monitors, Blu-Ray players, smart phones and netbooks.
