sony have done it again, this is a high quality camcorder at a very affordable price, i found it very easy to use i would almost say fool proof, its not as compact as the dv's but is well made and does have that air of quality about it, lets face it its a cheap camcorder and therefore has to cover the basics which it does extremely well, but i personally feel that it offers a value for money that is hard to beat.

So i give it 5 stars why?, well its not the best camcorder out there but it doesn't try to be it trys and succeeds to be the best affordable mid range camera that there in my opinion is.

This was a great first camcorder for me, note you should look around for tapes since they can be quite pricy, but have a look because i found some very cheap ones that were of a high quality.

go anywhere else, but for the price this is excellent - 03 Apr 2006

THIS CAMCOERDER IS GREAT FOR THE PRICE AND FOR ITS CONTENTS, FIRST OF ALL U CAN LINK IT TO YOUR PC AND EDIT IMAGES BUT U CAN ALSO USE DIGITAL 8 TAPES, I KNOW THERE NOT AS GOOD AS MINI DV OR AN ACTUAL DVD DISC BUT FOR THE PRICE YOU CANT GRUMBLE OVER IT. IT HAS ALSO GOT 20 OPTICAL ZOON AND FOE THE PRICE IS EXCELLENT.

Excellent for the price - 08 Sep 2005
