All in all- just a GREAT EXPERIENCE- I would not hesitate ordering from her againHIGHLY RECCOMMENDED. Three things about the Camcorder that I ordered. 3)- The Camcorder actually arrived three days before the promised. call it MINT)than advertized. date. 2)- The Camcorder was actually in better condition ( I would. selling on Amazon.com. 1)-The person ,Mona, who sold it has got to be the nicest person.
The picture is great and it is small and handy. I have had it for over a year and it has worked perfectly. Also it is now selling for 299.99. It is a steal. camcorder. THis camera is great. I would suggest anyone buying it who needs a.
Again it is a very cool product 5 Stars for it., Buy it if you still can find it, It is hard to find this product in stores and ONLINE. The supplied Battery lasts for about 160mins. which is very cool, It can be used to Capture Video using a MPEG Capture card and make VideoCDs. I Found that this Camcorder has S-Video out too. It has LP mode and with Proper Tapes you can get about 8hrs of recording time. All the advertised Specs works and Much better than any other camcorder in it's class. It is a very good product for the price that we pay for it.
The battery that came with it gave me 190 minutes from the battery display (850amphrs). Windows ME & Xp come with free video editing software anyway for this & I can out put it to vcd or svcd. I found it easy to hold & the buttons are pretty comfortable. I don't miss the pull out lcd view finder because I don't want strangers looking at it & I don't need a digital camera after all cause I can input the video with the s-video out on this camera into my computers s-video in card & have a digital mpeg-1 or mpeg-2 recording on the HD. I left it recordng & it went for 2 hours & then some as I didn't get to see how long it would record but at least that long. The optical zoom of 20x is very nice.
The digital zoom is great but you get fuzzy pictures using it with any camera, but lucky with this camera you can turn it off, or set it to 40x or 200x. It has the Sony Nigthshot feature for 0 Lux recording. It's lightweight & easy to use. The viewfinder was clear & with a nice adjustment so that I could see things sharp. Also nifty is a cool option to turn off the record light in front of the camera so people don't know you are recording :-) Most digital cameras only have 10x zoom.
It can even make the text in the viewfinder twice as big. The zoom is an easy slide button on top instead of a rocker switch.
It is worth every penny in my opinion. I was intrigued by the special price run on it. The picture and audio quality are outstanding. It shoots in very low light and even has a low light feature which will work in almost darkness. I have figured out most of the options just by playing around with it. This is my first camcorder.
It is a great beginner's unit, but if you want something more high-end then I would look at a digital camera.There are a lot of options for accessories including a 20-hour battery. The unit is very lightweight and compact, which makes it easy to carry and easy to do precision filming with. I highly recommend this unit to anyone looking to venture into the camcorder market. The camera is very simple to use. I bought it online on my lunch break and stopped by Circuit City on the way home from work and picked it up.It is a Hi8/8mm recorder and does not record in stereo, but it is very nice. The battery says it lasts for 2 hours, but I have gotten around 3 on a charge.
