This video/still image camera is awesome!!!I bought this camera as a replacement for one that recorded with strip. That's about all it did. Well I tried it didn't like it and brought it back for a refund.Right then and there I firm that I was going digital if I could find the right camera at the right price.I found this one on Amazon for $300 bucks.The cost range went from $700 to $300.I bought this one and I'm tellin ya' I'm one lucky camper.It is so easy to operate a kid can do it,yet it takes great videos and pictures on dvd looks. It's touch screen so if you have never done that,it will take a bit of practice to get used to. There's 2 filming formats. One for the open-minded user and another one called easy.I use them both because with either one it works just great.I also ordered a camera bag that came with assessories.DVD's and a clever wallet to keep them in.The photo or still picture as they call it is as close to rapid fire as you're going to see at this rate. I gave it a 5 rating because it's great. It has a lot of cool features I haven't mentioned because there's to many to name here. Buy it you won't be apologetic. Believe me!!
Tickety-boo
This was my first Camcorder grip. It is just the right size and the features are worth the price. Most notable the picture is clear and sound records crisp. This will be a good investment.
But for value
I am still relatively in awe of the accelerating technology which puts such a potent camera in one's hand. It does everything that one can expectancy for or expect, just select the 'easy' mode and point and hurl...and voila! How can it be so easy? Videos permantly on DVD - leisurely to play on any computer or player - also easy to copy to regular sized DVD's and sent to friends or whomever. A enthusiastic buy, user friendly consistantly delivering a quality product.
Dangerous product
I am blithe with the quality of the video of the Sony DVD Handycam. It is easy to use and basiclly easy to record to a orthodox DVD. I wish the picture taking capability involved a memory last. This is easier.
Not impressed with this Sony camera
I bought this camcorder and have exchanged it three times. The first one I bought before I even had it a full week ruined and had an error message I called sony and they informed me I would have to send it in to be fixed! Uh, NO, I ponder I'll take a new one, thanks! made the mistake of exchanging instead of just returning! the second camera had audio problems which, influence to the third to find out that this is just the sound "non"-quality of this camcorder. There is an everpresent frog croking thunder in the audio of the recording from the camcorder that I was informed is the gears from the dvd and is supposed to be there, they turned the mic plane down in hopes of it not picking the noise up, didn't help. I would buy a different camera or precisely get a cheap mini dv since they seem to make these things to be replaced every two years!
