   I got this camcorder for capturing my 6 month old baby. Wow, I am pleased with this soo much. When you look at camcorders and see some for 200.00, 250.00, 300.00, and the 2000.00 digital everyone needs think of this. The more money you put into a product…THE BETTER. This was the case here forsure. I can go into a bathroom with all the lights off at 12 pm and turn on my night vision on my camcorder and find my little pee pee. lol, Hmm, like 10 yrs ago or even a lot less, night vision would cost you thousands of dollars. This was a feature I didnt even know I was getting. The zoom is LiGhTnInG FAST. I catch myself overzooming on the first 2 tapes I recorded. This is one hell of a camcorder and I recommend it for a person that wants quality for the money spent.

   I bought it new in 2002 for $400. The color is pretty good. The resolution is very poor, only close shot get you satified. Other than that you get blur edge and barrel distortion sometimes. I didn’t use it a lot for the first 3 years, only the last 2 years I used it regularly to tape my daughter’s piano class homework every 2 weeks for 5-8 minutes each time. Recently I have to knock this camera extremly hard several times to make the recording start (It’s common issue as the piano teacher told me.). So I have to find a new camcorder now. I don’t know what can I do if it refuses to work one day in my daughter’s piano class.

   I’ve had the camcorder for a while now, and was hoping to be able to use the USB streaming feature to make small computer movies and send them to my friends and family overseas. Although the camcorder is good the included software is weak and the USB streaming makes a very choppy poor quality AVI file. I recently got a new computer and could not find the device driver disk that came with the camcorder. Sony technical support was a joke and they ended up trying to sell me a driver for my camcorder. So now I have a camcorder that I can plug into my TV or record onto a VHS (Do people still use VHS?) but any dreams I have of putting something on my computer are fading fast. I’m going to have to find a new way to send my parents the video I took of my new house.

   Frankly in this day and age an analogue camcorder is a waste of money.

   The picture on this camera is good and it needs very little light. However, the colors are not quite as accurate as I had hoped for Hi8. Perhaps digital would have been better, but the price was a factor. I shopped around and found Amazon had the best price available.
