Customer Reviews
Great but not awesome!!! 
2008-01-20
I like these facts about this camera
1. Its a Sony
2. 30 GB of inbuilt storage
3. Compact size
4. Great zoom
5. Easy to transfer videos
6. Cool touchscreen
It as smaller than Panasonic H18 which I considered. I felt that H18 definitely had better picture quality when viewed on the camera screen. I never got to compare the outputs from both the cameras on a PC. Sony looked more state of the art camera, but H18 videos looked brighter (more like an HD camera).
Cons
1. Not so sharp images....definitely better than miniDV or DVD camera....but nothing great when compared to HD cams.
2. Costlier than other brands in similar category....again..this depends on how you view the value for your money.
All in all....I am having fun with this camera. zoom is grrrreat. battery life is over 100 mins...which is quite good.
Can do better for the price

Samiliar if not worse video quality as an old tape driven handy cam,only advantage is the HD, but you can get similar performance from other makes for much lesser.

Fully Satisfied! 2008-01-18
Very much user friendly and great quality video. I love the product. I just bought 2 weeks ago, haven't tried to connect to my PC and download the video. overall I'm fully satisfied with the product.
Good Quality 2008-01-12
This camera has good quality, yet you may have to convert the video format every time like I do, which can sometimes be a pain. It doesn't come with a neck strap, but that's only a minor thing. The touch screen is really nice and it turns on/off very quickly. It didn't take me very long to find out how to use it, so it is pretty simple. It has proficient audio quality, yet an external microphone would work a lot better. It will zoom pretty far and it has a "switch" lens cap, which will not get in the way of filming. Also, you can choose to film in widescreen or a standard 4:3 aspect.
Great video. Poor photos 2008-05-17
We got this when we are expecting our first baby. It's rather easy to use overall. Videos are gorgeous and we couldn't be happier. It holds hours of video. However, the still photos are of VERY poor quality. Thank goodness we brought our regular camera to the hospital. We had hoped to only have to lug one piece of equipment around, but the photos simply are of poor color and very blurry. We also are unable to figure out how to upload the videos using just the camcorder. You have to have the base, which means another piece to lug along if you are uploading on vacation.
Simply average. 2008-04-12
Parents bought the camera and it was too late to return it. Pros: very light and easy to use. Everything functions very well. Cons: Image quality sucks and you must use the dock to transfer files to computer. For the image quality alone i would have returned this but i cant anymore. Would i buy again? for the price, definitely not.
Great litttle video camera 2008-02-29
Easy to use, good videos. We're not descriminating, so there's not much I can say that hasnt already been said. Takes great videos for the price; easy to use - right out of the box, we connected it to the TV to view the videos and were very pleased with the results. I especially like the fact that I no longer have to deal with disks or tapes.
Only problem is that these small handhelds are geared towards right-handed users. You cant really hold/use it with your left hand as all of the controls, and also the screen are on the left side of the camera. I suspect most of the small handhelds suffer from this problem.
All rightikins ... 2008-02-12
I was amazed at how this worked. The light for darkness blew me away. I wanted the next size up but this one was the better buy for the price.
Almost Perfect! 2008-01-28
This camera takes good video quality and good picture quality (about 1MP). I bought this camera to possibly be a good all-in-one camera, pictures and video. The 30GB holds more than I need and it is easy to transfer to a Computer. My only problem at all with this camera is that it does not have a flash. I believe the Sony SR200 and SR300 have a flash. So, it turns out that for taking pictures indoors it is still better for me to use my other sony Camera. Other than that this camera fits all my needs and I think it actually works out better that I use this camera for video and the other for pics.
