Well, considering this is a discontinued item I won't go in to great detail. Sony products may be a little more expensive than comparable items but you can always count on them to work well and this camcorder is no exception. Have owned it for 4 years with absolutely no problems and still use it.
If I take the battery off for a few minuets it works some times but never know when or for how long. Only used a few times before started not working. Keeps saying reinsert tape.
This Camcorder is useless. When compared to one with manual WB this camera sucks. Has alot of extras but when working on a video for my AV class I when to set up the white balance and found that it's auto. Pictures are all different colors from blue to yellow. This is a worthless camcorder. Manual WB is a basic standard on all camera and camcorder so why was it left off this one. I would give or suggest this camcorder to any one, I'd look for another, just in case you plan on editing your color don't change from shot to shot.
I have had this camcorder since October of '04, and I have only complained about one thing: not being able to hook it up to a computer through USB. I only recommend that you buy lots of tapesit's just fun to waste tape on recording random crap sometimes. I shot video at a party for a music video with it once, and am currently using it to make a film I wrote. Other than that, this is a very cool li'l camera that shoots good quality images. This is a very handy camcoreder indded, and I would recommend it to just anyone who wants to capture some fun times.
Out of all the ones I've researched this one seemed to be the easiest to use. After toying with the idead of getting a camcorder, I recently bought this Sony camcorder about a week ago. If you are just looking for something simply to use that has features that ANYONE can operate, this is the camera for you. I've never used a camcorder before and I was able to use this without looking through the manual. Every feature on the camcorder is clear as day to use.
