ReviewsWe bought this camera about 3 years ago, we had it for 5 months and it was never mishandled; used about 5 times. Then the tape started popping out and it wouldn't stay closed. Well, we had a service plan with it. Had to drive it 60 miles one way each time!! It has been fixed for the same problem 2 times now. It just sits in the closet. The plan is expired and we found out that it will cost about $90 to repair it (again). There is only 3 on ebay like it and 2 of those are not working as well!! Do not buy a Sony camcorder!!!
I have owned my camera for over three years and have enjoyed it immensely. Contrary to what the specs say, it does have preset titles, and you can also make custom titles. It also has good quality pictures. I don't mind the battery charger, and I like being able to use the view finder or LCD screen. I have certainly gotten my money's worth. Too bad it's not a digital. It is a really good, dependable camera that is easy to use.
I've had this camera for a couple years with no operational problems. It does suck battery a bit, so one may wish to obtain a more powerful battery pack. The only feature that I would like to have added is a stabilizer. When zoomed out, the picture tends to get pretty jumpy. But at no zoom to about half zoom, the picture is pretty solid. The sound quality and night vision capability are pretty impressive, too, for a camera in this price range.As the title says, a good entry level video camera.
Like the other reviewer, My camera is about 6 months old and it doesnt work. Don't buy this camera or any camera from Sony. A friend of mine had a different model from Sony and that to doesn't work. Sony also does not care about their customers. So, I'm stuck with this worthless piece of junk.
Its a great product for its price. It has lots of features and the color LCD is great. All it lacks is a case which you will have to purchase seperately.
