Summary: Sony Camcorder
Comment: My husband really enjoys this camcorder. He says it's lightweight and simple to use. I purchased it for him for Christmas and it came earlier than expected. He used it for Christmas morning and we were watch the playback that afternoon. Great product.

Summary: no disks!.
Comment: It is a good easy to use little camera. It was a gift and it was not ready to use. It did not come with disks or memory card and was not clearly labeled as such.

Summary: Issue with disc door
Comment:
I was given this camera as a gift in anticipation of the homecoming of my second-born. The camera never worked right and after 8 months of getting weird intermittent error messages and being unable to capture countless video-opps, the camera deleted my priceless Christmas footage. I finally sat down down to trouble shoot issue (Am mother of 2 under 3) and was advised by Sony Customer Service that the disc door must be loose and I should send camera to Sony for repairs. I was told this would cost 129$ as we were out of the warranty (although we only received the camera 8 months ago) Pretty pricey for a camera that never worked. I would not recommend this camera and will never buy Sony again. I hope noone ever gifts me Sony either!

Summary: A great camcorder for home movies
Comment: This inexpensive and compact DVD camcorder exceeds expectations in video and sound quality. With the option of recording direct to mini-DVD, which can be viewed in both standard and blu-ray DVD players, or on a memory stick for viewing on a PC, this camcorder is great for creating general home movies. This is the first camcorder I've had since the now "classic" days of VHS video and the first thing I noticed is how seamless the stops and starts in recording are on playback. Its best feature may be its excellent 40x optical zoom lens. The downside is that its battery does not last very long. I have found that it needs to be replaced or recharged shortly after approximately 30 minutes of recording. I purchased a second battery for it, but I plan to buy at least one more. Regardless, this is a nice camcorder for capturing those special family moments.
