   My Daughter saved up for this camcorder for a long time, so it was a big deal when we finally picked up a new unit. The first unit was junk right out of the box as it would not play back on the lcd screen. I exchanged it for another unit which worked for less than 8 hours before it to quit. Very disappointed in the quality of this unit. I would imagine that I ran into a quality batch problem but it was a bummer and has caused me to have to reconsider going back to Sony for this next unit.

   This camcorder is great for family vacations or playing around and getting those great moments on tape.

   I purchased this “factory restored” camera and it was very dissappointing! The focus is terrible. There are only two spots with the zoom that are actually in focus. Even when it is zoomed all the way out it is blurry. I just had my first child and I bought this to record his first years and because of this camera I have already missed recording two months! This was such a waste of money!!!!!

   I bought CCDTRV318 for about 18 months and the camera has performed very well. Just 2 weks ago suddenly it didn’t work after 5 months of last use.The picture on the LCD screen and in the viewfinder was all blurry and distorted. The picture is getting clear little bit after half hour. I tried changing every setting and every adjustment I could think of. I couldn’t fix it.

   I did not buy warranties so I don’t know where to go and how much is going to repair.

   I bought canon Digital 8 camcorder 6 months ago to give present to my friend. Its working really nice. I think there is nothing in name brand. I would prefer small brand with warranties.

   Problems just out of the box!

   1st camera we received did not charge the battery. We returned and got another one that after 5 months of storage and perhaps 2-3 hours of TOTAL use (recording time), it went back to “Not charging the battery” since it is out of warranty (30 days – Amazon will not exchange it) and under the (1 year Sony warranty), we called, they said the camera needs to be repaired and it is $166 plus shipping which is about $190, for a camera that we purchased for $260

   JUNK!!

   It is all I have to say about this camera, I got to use the camera for a total of 3 hours.
   I paid about $90/Hour to use this junk, went for the name brand and GOT Burned.

   I do not know why I was talked into buying a Sony it is overpriced and now the quality is JUNK, we have had Panasonic electronics all our lives, and they just get old and outdated, but they keep in working! Guess what my next camera will be? – Panasonic-
