Does Sony build compatibility issues with other brands?

I was recommended the sony ecm-ms907 microphone so i bought one to use with a cannon video recorder. I was impressed with it but after some use, the it lost most of the volume on one of the channels. I bought another one and after some use the same thing happened to the new one. I was told that Sony has compatibility issues with the use of its products with other brands. Is this a fact? If so is there another microphone that you can recommend that is as good as the sony ecm-ms907 and will work with any brand? If not, is there something that i might be doing to cause this issue? Please advise.
