this is a great camcorder. you can use digital effects, still pics, and is a great value…plus it has a huge screen, 3 inches, and only ways 1 pound and is also small. so if you want a great camcorder and don’t want to waste your money, this is the perfect one to get.

Can i hear you say “dog crap”? This camera seemed great from the reviews, and boy did I do my homework on this one. Problem was that intermittently there would be a problem during playback of tapes, ie: extreme digitalization or blocks across the video. It drove me crazy so i sent it back to amazon, who then sent me out another unit. Same issue with this one!!! Called sharp and was told they thought maybe i was using the wrong tapes???? How is that possible, I was using Sony Mini DV’s, no mystery there. They told me not to use TDK tapes as they are having issues with this camera, thankfully i did not use TDK. Anyway, after 13 months of this issue, i had enough. Called Sharp corporate and demanded to speak with the CEO. Ended up speaking with one of his people who couldnt have been nicer in fixing the issue. They are sending me a totally different model camera……hope that solves it!!!

I really liked this camera because of the size and ability to take the pictures and videos in one. Now however I am very disappointed because after one year of use the camera broke down. The still button that takes snapshots stopped working. I can only take videos now and who knows how long that will last! I am sending this for service, hoping it won’t cost me too much to fix it. Very upseting that it happened the moment one year warranty expired!
Part II – March 2007
I have had the worse experience with this camera! Do not buy it, it does not last! First it broke down as soon as the warranty expried and I sent it for service because I really liked this camera. I paid $300 to fix it and one year later it broke down again!!! I am so frustrated I am throwing this junk to the garbage. I wish I did it the first time around, I would have a new camera by now – never Sharp!

I think this is a good value for money. User-friendly and having lots of features. Digital pics are pretty okay considering it’s just a camcorder.
Can somebody tell me whether I can download the digital pics to Win NT system? It’s not working for me on NT.
More…..I’ve been using it for almost a week now. I have nothing to complain about it. Last night, I downloaded some digital pics to another PC. Some photos were really outstanding, some were okay.
Video recording too is pretty good. The best part is that everything is so easy to use.
I think I’ll buy one more for my parents!!
Go for it.
