Never worked get even forThe dvds it recorded never finalized in principle, lost a lot of good memories. Never focused well.
Not too bad
Ive never owned a camcorder before I purchased this one so I was discomfited when I had bought it right before my baby shower in '07. I thought that I would be superior to record my baby shower and the birth of my son with no problem. Back then I was a little discombobulate over the price, $250 approx. But i had thought that since it was a dvd camcorder that must be a good assay since every other one I had seen was more expensive. Anyway I recorded my baby shower without a problem. The video was dry. The battery life was ok. Then all the problems started after that day. I would record and the video would start to obscure. The camcorder would start to shake when trying to read the disk. Then the battery-operated life was becoming very horrible. It would start to die within a half an hour. It especially made me mad when I went to look back at the video from the emergence of my son and there were parts missing because the battery would die and the person that was recording could not record everything because the freestyle was dieing. I am just going to probably give this one to my sister and buy a much better one. Its barely my opinion, but I would not advise anyone to buy this camcorder.
Oh before I go, there were a few things that did not piss me off about it. The picture was not always bad and my dvds were not always unreadable.
I would antiquated on this camera
I'm customary to make this short and sweet. This camera is OK. It works, and in good lighting can reveal a decent quality picture; however, more times than not, the pic quality is horrible, and the freestyle life wont last the length of a 20 min DVD. The record to a SD card is even worse. my wifes digi camera takes crap-shooter video than this camera, and the still pic feature is worthless.
To sum it up, I would stay away from this camcorder.
Did not like this goods.
My soft-pedal gave this camera to me for my 29th birthday, just in time to record my sons first use, which we had done at our church when he was only 8 days old. The film is completely black - you can hear the baptism ceremony but can't see it. This camera takes EXTREMELY poor videos - can not handle low lighting at all, which HELLO makes it effete to me.
Don't buy this camera
Don't buy this camera, even though it is worthless, its a waste of money all together. Its frustrating how when you are trying to record family memories and it keeps forceful you errors. It worked well for the first year we owned it but now its just collecting dust on the shelf. I don't even remember how many DVDs we have wasted. And on top of that you can't watch whatever you did record. Waste of time and medium of exchange!
