- Great Camcorder for first time users and new parents
We did a lot of research for several months before purchasing this MiniDV Digital camcorder.

It's a lightweight piece that gives you enough options without overwhelming a first time user. The 10x optical zoom has been appropriate, we really don't need more for what we use it for (charting our baby girl's days as she grows into a little girl). The night light is actually very good, we've used on a few occasions with surprisingly good results. The picture quality is beautiful even on a big screen television.

The bottom line is that you don't need to be a pro to figure this contraption and it's a great value for what you get.

The touch screen is very easy to operate (although sometimes I use the tip of a retracted pen to make sure I hit what I intend to). Additionally, the programmable "P-Menu" ensures the features/options you use most are right at your fingertips. The transition from video recording to photo taking is extremely simple and fast. I recently took the camera to a wedding and was very pleased with the speed of the transition back and forth, not to mention the fact that I didn't have to reach for a still camera every time a photo opportunity presented itself. A 3 megapixel image won't win you any awards, but it's plenty clear for an 8x10 photo.

Picture Quality- Simply amazing. When people see the detail, color, and contrast that my ... Read More

- Beware
I've had this camera for 6 months. 4 of those months have been spent fighting with Sony to service it.

Stay far, far, far away.
