 Good but not perfect. December 28, 2008
I got this camcorder for Christmas from my husband. Good camera, love the touch screen and night mode. Excellent value for money. One problem--Vista. Can't seem to find out how to get the videos onto my newish computer. Will have to use the old one to download them because it does not work with Vista. I suppose that's what I get for having nice things.
 I can't understand November 19, 2008

I can't understand how this camera got so many good reviews. I found it unwieldy, very user unfriendly and the quality of the pictures was not as good as my little (now unfortunately broken) Traveler from Aldi. I also cannot understand why Sony didn't include at least one tape with the camera, you have to go out and spend another 11 or so before you can find out how poor the camera is. I will be very careful about relying on customer reviews in future. Fortunately Amazon have a brilliant returns policy.

Amazed, this DV camcorder is amazing for the price! 40X optical zoom, Carl Zeis optics, what more could you want for 119?
I recommend as a best buy for people on budget, if you want a slightly more powerfull and higherspec camcorder there are plenty out there.
The quality is amazing, Nice solid feel and the screen is large enough for most people.
The only issue is that they could of made the film quality a bit better, but 800K pixels is good enough for me.
Hope this helped!

Wow, is all i can say!
I made the choice to slice my budget and order a small mini-DV camera as opposed to the 460 high definition one i had in mind. I was skeptical, assuming mini-DV equaled inferior quality.
Well, i was proved wrong! Unless you're an HD fanatic and have a giant 50" HD LCD television, this camera is great. I was really surprised by the picture quality when i transferred the video over via firewire to my macbook. Yeah, it's not HD quality but it's damn well close. Obviously the quality falters in poorly lit conditions, but so does every other camera. It has lots of settings to help you get the perfect image you want.
If you're looking for an affordable, easy to use and great quality camera and are not concerned about buying tapes and other things then BUY this. I got the camera, a pack of tapes, a tripod and firewire cable for !54 :)
