Pretty Good Value for the Price
by andics on April 18, 2007
Pros: Much better than Canon dc210
Cons: A bit on the Heavy side compared to the Canon

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.

great midline cam.
by quality4me on February 8, 2007
Pros: leading night vision, quality feel, price.
Cons: no hard drive, eye shroud, focus

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!

Super Camcorder
by cammbuff on August 10, 2007
Pros: Cheap, light, nice touchscreen
Cons: no windscreen on mic
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.

There are so many accesories to do great advances: Lens, coverts to use under water, batteries and many more. Always with Sony quality.

Summary: Okay, if you want to edit your movies you shot with this camera, you CAN do it; I don't know why they say you can't. They DVD you get is extremely important. I found that getting a Mini DVD-RW works excellent for transferring movies onto your computer. The best part about that is that you can delete the movies when you're done with them. Don't be fooled into buying a DVD+RW, because that won't let you do the things listed above. It has to be DVD-RW.
Anyway, I love the camera. It is a great way to get started with your filmmaking career! Especially now that you can edit your movies on the computer! -

Summary: Would have to say this is a decent camera for the price. I used Nero to edit the videos and still came out ok. Pic quality sucks in low lighting but my friend says his Canon does the same.
