Exactly what I was looking for.
I wanted a camcorder for my family and this one is exactly what I wanted. Its small, easy to hold. I have a 10 month old and I love the videos that we have made. These movies will bring back great meomories for us. The only thing I would change is the battery life. just need to buy a better battery. and the movie disks only record for 30 mins well a little over that but I would want a longer time. The picture quality is amazing and well worth the money. One thing I recommend is to wait a little ...

Great video. Easy to transfer to PC
This is a great camcorder. I use the highest quality and the videos have very good quality. Transfering the videos to the computer is very easy, just set the camera in USB mode, connect cables to camera and PC using the USB cable provided and copy the mpeg files to your computer. One file is created everytime you start and stop recording which makes it easy to create a DVD menu.
Another feature that I like is the ability to record video either using the mini DVDs or memory stick. I bo...

Sony Handycam - Wonderful Choice
Purchased the handycam for family videos as our current digital camera takes subpar videos (especially when you zoom-in during filming). The Sony handycam is easily used right out of the box. The external mechanical buttons/levers are limited and intuitive. The touch screen display drives disc and memory card formatting and other video/picture nuances that are on "auto" unless you change them. I've added a photo memory card which is a nice option at parties and trips. Filming is very easy a...

Love it!
Easy to use. Good quality video. Be sure to buy an extra battery though. Has many features that I may never use that more experienced users may like or you can use the easy button and it couldnt be simpler.

Amazing at the price.
There is a brief learning curve for switching modes and such, and if you're not going to read the manual you should expect that things do not exactly turn out how you expect the first time you use it.
That being said, the optics are excellent, the digital zoom is excellent (though, as cautioned in the manual, at higher zoom levels you lose picture quality), and the camera itself is very solid. About the only complaint I have with it is that if the mini-DVD you're using is not Sony-br...

Hybrid technology makes this a cut above
This is in effect a hard drive/ mini DVD recorder. Unlike many others the memory stick can record video. On some/most? other company's camcorders the SD card or what not can record only photos.
Without that cability it is still a fine camcorder. The touch screen is very easy to use and easy to learn, the video quality is very good, colors come out looking fine. But the video to memory stick is very nice. We have an 8gb memory stick. It gives roughly 2 hours of high quality video. Good...

OK camera, but some drawbacks
Video quality in SP mode is only average...not noticably better than quality from my previous ten year old VHS analog unit. Zoom is very powerful and the image stabilization works well. On-off switch feels cheap and loose. Significant problem exists withwind buffet noise in the top mounted microphone in all but perfectly calm outdoor conditions - a mild breeze makes quality capture of normal speech at ten feet almost impossible. Plan to buy an additional battery preferably a larger capacity on...

Very nice standard-def camcorder
For the price this is a nice little standard-def camcorder. It is a hybrid model and can record either to DVD or a Memory Stick.It also allows in-camera dubbing from MS to DVD I picked up an 8 GB Memory Stick Pro-Duo and it will hold 117 minutes of video at high quality. The camera itself is very easy to use and passes the wife test meaning that she can just pick it up and start recording. The menu system is very intuitive and the monitor doubles as a touch screen making menus very easy to navi...

Excellant camera for the price
I bought the camera a few weeks ago for to use on a trip to Disney Land. The camera was delivered the day before the trip so there was not much time to learn how to use it.I breezed through it and was on my way. If you own a GPS and or a computer you should have no problems sorting things out. I put in a Sony disk, pushed the Easy button and during the trip took two hours of pictures that are excellant. There is a format for fireworks that I used at Epcot that came out just great. Pictures that ...

Great camcorder for beginners!
I've never owned my own camcorder before, but THIS great device was TERRIFIC to start off with! My boyfriend kept saying, "I know you want a hard-drive camcorder, but this dvd one will be great for just recording small moments at the parties we go to -- It will help you get the hang of using video cameras before you move on to the higher-priced stuff."
I agree!
The camcorder comes with a "Tutorial Video Shooting" DVD that walks you through how to get the most out of your ca...
