Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great camera!!
Other than a few really dumb design flaws, this camera is perfect. I didn't want to spend a fortune on an all-digital camcorder, and I wanted better quality than a regular 8mm. This digital-8 format is perfect! The price of the camera can't be beat, especially considering the high quality. The video is crystal clear and the still photo feature is really wonderful. The camera is easy to use and very lightweight. The still photos I took came out really well, even when people were moving around. The night vision feature is amazing and I've been having alot of fun with it. The only things I don't like about this camera are:
1. The battery only lasts for about an hour, and getting a 2nd battery with a charger & accessories costs almost as much as the camera itself.
2. The Hi-8 tapes only last one hour so you constantly have to change them. They also take FOREVER to rewind.
3. When you have a tripod screwed into the bottom of the camera, you cannot change the tape without removing the camera from the tripod! If they had moved that over about 1/2 inch it would be fine.
4. The included software is horrible and doesn't work very well at all. It was written in Japanese and most of the English translation makes no sense. I would not recommend even installing it. Instead, get something like Vegas Video or even Ulead Video Studio (which came with the Firewire card I purchased) to get the videos into your computer. These are just simple little inconveniences that anybody can live with to get such a high quality camera at a great price! I would recommend installing a Firewire card into the computer if you plan on using that for video editing. If you aren't going to connect the camera to a computer, the included video cable makes it really easy to hook up to a VCR. The remote control is great for controlling the camera when watching your videos. As stupid as it sounds, I never realized how much easier it is with the remote. All in all, this is a great camera at a great price and I would highly recommend it to anyone. No, it's not professional grade, but it's perfect for the average Joe that wants to capture everyday stuff.
Rating: - Great camera for a low Price
This camcorder offers great features for a low price. It's video quality is excelent, zoom works very well, the software that sony offers is great to create home videos. It's necesary a good computer for better quality. I suggest you a Pentium 4. You can download the videos in a Pentium III, but it result a little slow.
Rating:  - First Camcorder
I researched this product before I bought and it has had a lot of great reviews. Basically, for the price, it's a great camera for first time buyers who want a decent digital camera.Sony makes good products - I looked at other cameras of the same type and others looked cheaper. Biggest mistake when using: I used nightshot to try and capture some Vegas lights (at night of course) and everything was green! Don't use nightshot unless your in an unlit area - you'll be able to tell through the viewfinder if your getting a picture or not - That was my only problem and that is why I gave it four stars - they don't mention the color problem in the manual. Otherwise great first camera at a great price.
