Another well made product by Sony
2008-01-12Well, considering this is a discontinued item I won't go in to great detail. Sony products may be a little more expensive than comparable items but you can always count on them to work well and this camcorder is no exception. Have owned it for 4 years with absolutely no problems and still use it.

Disapointed
2007-07-08Only used a few times before started not working. Keeps saying reinsert tape. If I take the battery off for a few minuets it works some times but never know when or for how long!

No Manual White Balance
2006-03-28This Camcorder is useless. Has alot of extras but when working on a video for my AV class I when to set up the white balance and found that it's auto. When compared to one with manual WB this camera sucks. Pictures are all different colors from blue to yellow. Manual WB is a basic standard on all camera and camcorder so why was it left off this one? I would give or suggest this camcorder to any one, I'd look for another, just in case you plan on editing your color don't change from shot to shot. This is a worthless camcorder.

Very Impressive
2005-04-11I have had this camcorder since October of '04, and I have only complained about one thing: not being able to hook it up to a computer through USB. Other than that, this is a very cool li'l camera that shoots good quality images. I shot video at a party for a music video with it once, and am currently using it to make a film I wrote. This is a very handy camcoreder indded, and I would recommend it to just anyone who wants to capture some fun times. I only recommend that you buy lots of tapes--it's just fun to waste tape on recording random crap sometimes!

Perfect choice for something easy to use
2005-03-23After toying with the idead of getting a camcorder, I recently bought this Sony camcorder about a week ago. Out of all the ones I've researched this one seemed to be the easiest to use. I've never used a camcorder before and I was able to use this without looking through the manual. Every feature on the camcorder is clear as day to use. If you are just looking for something simply to use that has features that ANYONE can operate, this is the camera for you.

Digital camera batteries
Batteries are vital for all photography and makiing sure that you have a spare set is essential if you intend to take alot of pictures. Print digital also recommend that when deciding upon a digital camera keep in mind what sort of batteries it takes. Does it take rechargeable batteries, are the batteries built and do you have to plug it into the mains, or does the camera only take standard batteries, if so then it can become exspensive if you are a keen photographer and use the camera alot.
There are three types of rechargeable batteries: NiCD, NiMH and Lithium-Ion. Nickel Metal Hydride are the most popular rechargeable batteries at present. They hold more charge than their counter parts NiCD and don't suffer from memory effect. The one small down fall of these batteries is that they will loose a small amount of charge even if they are not being used, so be sure to check the batteries before using them.
When you purchase a new digital camera make sure to ask what type of battery ...
