So gald I found this camcorder!I am so chuffed I found this camcorder! We bought this identical camera a couple of years ago, new. It was recently stolen from an at the time at my church. I still have the camera bag, cords and all my family tapes. We bought it because you can all the way the camera up to your PC and transfer your tape to a DVD. I needed this camera in order to carry the dozen or so tapes I had already recorded. Some of these tapes include family events and once in a lifetime trips. I wanted my camera back, and thanks to Amazon, I got it! This camera was virtually new and best of all, affordable!
widespread problems with CD door not working
Hi, I have had this for a yoke of years but rarely use it. One day the door cassette door refused to prohibit b keep out. I googled this problem and LOTS of Sonys have this problem, and Sony does not even talk to this issue in the manual. I am afraid it is destined for the trash at this point, as it is not merit fixing. I really think Sony in general is not what it used to be. Stay to a different place from this model.
Horrible video quality
This video camera is so insufficient! Especially since Sony is usually pretty good. The quality of the video is unpleasant and lots like crap when you watch it on a large screen tv. I am also having problems with the freestyle too. It doesn't seem to keep its charge more than 5mins!!! Stay away from this camera.
Vast Until Video Head Malfunctioned
As warned, there is some dim quality in bad lighting conditions and the colors are extra vibrant, but blanket this was an excellent video camera, especially for the low price of $280 (not trusty why it seems to be much more on Amazon.com now). However, at just after a year, the video camera's move malfunctioned, showing clear or grey horizontal lines across the cover. After doing everything the Sony technician recommended, including cleaning the head with a rocker cleaner cassette, the head still gives me problems, especially at the start of taping (the captured video is unreservedly ruined). The cost of fixing it was close to the cost of getting another camera so I will have to find another video camera fully.
Reach-me-down to be a nice camera, Sony dropped support for VISTA!!!
A discriminative camera, worked well with XP, but Sony got cheap and dropped support for software drivers for USB use in VISTA. Sony tech encouragement continues their death spiral and is more or less worthless. More of the latest Sony "looks matchless, works poorly" trend. Pity Apple does not facilitate a make up for a HAndyCam. Save your $$ and buy a Panasonic model. Better value, haler support and it'll be more durable.
