Summary: I bought a Canon dc210 first, it being $50 Canadian cheaper than the Sony. After almost two weeks I exchanged it for the Sony. The Canon has good quality videos but you have to manually tweak the settings to get it, I Always set the Sony to Auto and has had pretty good videos from it. In response to the first reviewer, you can never expect a camcorder to record Good Still Pictures just as you can't expect a Digital camera to record Good Videos. Also, No Image Stabilization can steady a camcorder at 40x. You have to accept the fact that this camcorder is the cheapest Sony DVD Camcorder yet it shames the Canon in the quality of it's Videos and Features.

Summary: A great cam for the price. The focus seems to take more time to then even some previous models(2-3 seconds for high detail deciphering). The night vision is equal to a higher end personal camcorder. Only relying on the touch screen can be annoying but the interface is very simple to use. It has a very sturdy feel without being to heavy. Also cheaper than the previous model, by about 50 bucks. Good job sony!

Summary: Very happy with this camcorder. For under 400 bucks, there is really no room for complaining. Sony, put a windscreen on mic and you got a perfect camcorder.

Summary: I got one of this camera for Christmas and I loved it. It is very easy to operate, but as any Sony cam it underperforms in dark conditions. Has nightshot, which is preety cool for a entry-level cam. You sould not expect it to take good stills, as it takes only VGA-res stills. However, if you are looking for still shots, you should buy a digital camera instead. I recommend it!

Summary: The 30 min DVDs are too short of recording time. It can't burn double sided DVDs to extend the recording time. It boast about a long zoom range however when you do zoom long distances you need a tripod to stabalize the camera or the picture will come out shakey. As expected, the still shots are less than acceptable. The 5.1 megapixel claim is a joke. It cannot compair to a 5.1 meg still camera. Be careful where you purchase your camera. Circuit City tried to stick me with a 15% restock fee when I returned the camera. The camera performed less than sales clerk's claims and wasn't as compateble with Mac as stated. I held my ground and told the Manager that neither the sales clerk nor the cashier mentioned the fee prior to purchase. Printing the policy on the back of the sales receipt and expecting that as notice of said policy was unacceptable. Also the sign stating the policy is in the back of the store away from the register. In the end I got a full refund. I will never return to Circuit City nor anyone else that refunds only store credit or charges restock fees.
