 Awesome Camcorder! 2 years Later and STILL love it! May 31, 2010
J. Somers (USA)
We bought this camcorder shortly prior to my daughter's birth. I did a lot of research and this camcorder had awesome reviews. I have used this camcorder many, many times in the past 2 1/2 years of ownership.
It has never given me any problems except when I mistakenly put in a full DVD-R disk and I got an error message telling me to check the disk. Oops! My mistake, not the camcorders. I put in a full disk. But I'd be willing to bet that these people that say the camcorder "erased" their footage actually erased it themselves on accident by using a DVD-RW. These disks are meant to be recorded over so if you put it in the camcorder by accident or "forget" the reverse side of the disk was previously used, you WILL record over your own disk. Buy DVD-R disks and you won't have this problem because you can't record over them by accident. I have used Sony, Panasonic, and Maxwell brand disks and never had a problem with any of them, however, the camera does recognize if you use a disk that is not a Sony brand disk and it will tell you that a Sony disk is recommended.
I have nothing but good things to say about this camera. I do not charge the battery very often, however, there is always a charge when I go and record things so the battery life is great even after not being charged for 6 weeks of rare use. When you do have to charge it, it charges very fast! No more overnight charging! It is extremely lightweight (about 3 lbs) so I was able to record an entire graduation with it without using a tripod. The screen is a touch screen so you can touch it to go back and forth between the camera features and the camcorder features. Adjust any settings with the touch screen also.
Awesome camera!

The camera is great when it worked. Stay away from this model. You will be recording then it will tell you that it can't read the disk an anything you have recorded is lost.
Horrible software and PC interface !! January 19, 2010

Byt this only if you plan to never never make a DVD out of multiple DVDs.. ;-) - that is the most common thing I do .. and i guess you all do too.
The software which comes with it is terrible. Does not recognize the camcorder when it is connected to the PC - even the the Picture Motion Browser is up !!
DO NOT PURCHASE - unless you have your own software to work with!
Very unreliable camera - DON'T BUY! January 3, 2010

This is an easy camera to use, but it's not feature loaded. It's convenient to store footage directly to mini DVD disks. BUT - there seems to be a systemic problem with this camera and I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND BUYING IT. I had precious stuff recorded on one disk, and then the camera informed me 'Movie Recording Disabled.' No more video could be recorded to the disk, the footage won't play, and it could not be extracted into a couple of video editing software packages that I have tried. OK, maybe the disk was bad. Not so, as exactly the same thing happened with the next disk (Sony brand DVD-R). I recorded some stuff, and now it is lost! A search on Google showed that many people have experienced the same problem with this camera. Beware - look elsewhere for a DVD camera.
Waited a year to post THIS review to be fair!!!! July 17, 2009

I bought this for a Disney Trip last September and used it a lot since.
Pros:
1. Easy to use. Just pop in a mini dvd and record.
2. Mini DVD finaliztion process is a snap, and the dvd will play in most dvd players.
CONS: WHY I RATED IT 1 STAR!!!!!!!!!
1. Forget shooting at night. I tried several settings to adjust the night feature to include the night shot lighting. IT SUCKS. Everything looks infrared. My older JVC mini8 took better shots at night. I recently return from the beach and the night shot around the bonefire looked horrible. THIS camcorder is only good during the day. July 4th fireworks all looks blueish red at best.
2. IT BROKE! I used it(Parties,beach twice, Disney). This camera has a focus issue...look to other forums under error 61:11. Eventually the autofocus will break. Mine did three days into my beach vacation. I called sony because i have a 5 year warranty. WHAT garbage. I need to send it in and still pay 100.00 minumum. This camera is going for 200 on ebay.
3. You will lose precious moments until you realize how to use it. When you hit pause the camera goes back about 30-45 secs. When you record again YOU LOSE that time frame. I ran into Snow White and the girls ran up to get a quick hug, then paused and we found Cinderella, and again quick hug. I recorded and paused then recorded and pause throughout the day. Needless to say I lost alot. No shots with either princess. Your best bet is to record all 30 mins non stop and who does that!!
4. Battery is garbage. I had to buy a 3 hour battery to supplement the life time of the stock battery. More $$$$ spent.
If I had to do it over I would buy another camcorder. 400.00 didnt last 1 year and Im buying something else. No more cheap ones like this. Get one with a real night light! Trust me you wont regret it.
