Customer Reviews
Great product 
2007-02-06
Easy to use, pretty much just point and shoot. Glad I had read reviews from other consumers regarding the lack of a complimentary disk. That's the least Sony could have done, considering the cost of the camera!
Very Good¡

I only tried Easy, the image is not so good. And the battery lasts only about half hour. The sound is realy good. The shipping is very quick, I received the product 4 days after I made the purchase.

This handycam it's a perfect companion for your digital camera. It fits on your hand very well and the quality of the movies is outrageous !
Pretty Good Camcorder 2007-01-20
This is a good camera. The touch screen makes flipping throught menus very easy; instead of fumbling with button combinations, a button will come up telling you what action it will perform if you push it. I use it more for pictures than video, and the fact you can fit so many more pictures on the disc than on a card is very nice. One problem, you can't delete them unless it's on a DVD-RW. It takes pretty good pictures, with quite a few options for customization. The video is good. I compared this camera to it's younger brothers and the better lens does make a difference in video quality. The biggest problem for me, start up time and disc formatting takes too long, if it was faster, it'd be a five star product. There were a couple good whale shots I missed because the camera was starting up. If I had to buy again, I would.
Very nice cam 2008-01-23
I bought this for myself. But my son has four kids and I ended up giving the camera to him. I have no little kids no more but when I did I was always taking video. I used this cam a bit and it was great.
received a used camcorder, not a NEW one as advertised

But the customer support was very good. My money was returned as promised, but it did cost me a week of my time.
Good deal! 2007-04-12
This is our first camcorder. We bought this for our twins who were born recentely. The long story short, this is a good deal. I spent about a week researching and decided to buy this for its user friendliness, DVD, price and qulaty. I made a good choice. HOWEVER, if you don't like the touch screen, which I like, do not buy this.
GREAT!! 2007-03-08
This is the best camcorder I have ever had, i did a tremendous amount of research on this one and it paid off....buy this do not hesitate.
Handicam Not PC Frienndly 2007-02-21
I could not use the software that came with the handicam and I tried five other programs and none of them could access the cams video or controls - It may be possible to link PC and handicam but I don't have a degree in science fiction. If you're going to edit and make movies on your PC keep looking. This one is only for propeller heads.
