 I am disgusted! Jun 04, 2008
This camcorder may have good features, but it fails its primary function. It turns out that if you have a full DVD and try to finalize it, it can corrupt the DVD and lose all your data. I had to spend $351 on a data recovery service to recover footage of my newborn daughter. You'd think they would mention something like this in the instruction manual!
Love this Camcorder! May 17, 2008
I have had it for over a year now and love the quality and ease of use. It produces great family videos!
My only complaint is that it's hard to find compatible video editing/burning software. I finally found Sony Vegas Movie Studio 8 with Dvd Architect 4.5 This software is necessary to make great family dvds with this camera. Try the free download at sony before you buy.
Would definately recommend!
great buy- Apr 06, 2008
This was a gift for my boyfriend and he loves it. Its easy to use, the quality of the picture is great for the price, and its small enough to bring anywhere. FYI it does not come with any of the discs.

 Gorgeous Video, Shammy Service Apr 06, 2008
Initially, I loved this camera.
Pros:
EXCELLENT video quality. Absolutely stunning imagery.
Great zoom-in for extreme close-ups.
Long-lasting battery that charges quickly.
LCD screen is good quality.
BUT it died within a year of purchase, inconveniently AFTER the manufacturer's warranty expired. After the first ninety days, the camera stopped recording on DVD-RW (even the more expensive ones made specifically by Sony), bringing up an error message that said the disc was dirty or corrupted, even if the disc was brand-new out of package. A few months after that, it would not record on ANY type of disc and refused to even play back the ones that had already been recorded.
Worst of all, because I did not purchase any extended warranty, Sony has a flat-rate repair policy that would be 211.00 specifically for this model, REGARDLESS OF WHATEVER NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. It doesn't matter if they just had to blow air in around the lens, I would still have to pay nearly two-thirds of the purchase price to fix it.
My advice:
If you're adamant about buying a camcorder that records onto DVDs, regardless of which brand you decide on, purchase an extended warranty plan.
If you don't really care what your camcorder stores your memories on, go for something that doesn't rely on laser capability which is more pricey to repair (or they'll pretend it is and jag up prices for it).
 Great Small Video Camera! Apr 04, 2008
This video camera is light-weight and small enought to tote around. It's easy to use and takes great video!
