   The picture and sound are crisp and good. The color was washed out and could be more accurate. The manual and camera lacked what I needed to compensate for washed out color. The motor noise didn’t appear in the video, but was annoying for indoor recording and operation. The zoom button wasn’t the easiest to reach.

   If you’ve used Sony camcorders in the past, I imagine that you will be satisfied. But, ultimately, I wanted something smaller, quieter, and uses MiniDV.

   The main reason I bought this camera is so that I could (finally) digitize the 8mm tapes we had recorded of our first son. We were given a Sony anolog camcorder as a gift about 4 years ago. We could not trade it in for a digital and so we decided that one day we would either get a video bridge or update to DV. Our hand was forced when our old camera died. Although I really wanted a miniDV camcorder I thought that it would be more practical to stay with a camera that used 8mm tapes. Well, this camera can use those tapes…but it can’t play them back if they were recorded with an analog camcorder. Looks like I will have to return this unit in favor of the Sony 350 which DOES appear to be backwards compatible.

   Well, I like this camcorder a lot. My daddy and I made some nice homemade videos, hehehe, and they came out perfect. Good color and clarity to where you can see “everything”. I love how you can watch the video you just made on the camcorder itself. Many more fun times to be had with Daddy.
