Customer Reviews:

very disappointed with sony.......2007-06-12

After doing a lot of research on camcorders and based upon the rave reviews of other customers for this camcorder model, I bought this one. However, it's not compatible with any remote control items. You don't find this out until you try to order a remote control and/or tripod from the accessories brochure. Even though I called Sony customer service and ordered a remote control from a group of 4 remote controls they said are compatible, they're not. When I called them back about it when I wasn't able to install it, that's when they told me I had been misinformed. Also, you cannot edit the movie once you download it from dvd disc to the computer. I called Sony about this also. They said you have to buy separate software to edit from the computer, but you can't even do that with this model. The instruction manual provides either inconsistent or just plain wrong information. Sony customer service does the same thing. When I asked them why the enclosed material indicates that you can edit movies on the computer, but then find out you cannot, they had no answer except "I'm sorry for the confusion." I am having to send back all 3 items to Amazon and will have to begin my research all over again. Very disappointing.

Ordered the camera because of the reviews and they were right. Very nice camera, takes great video and easy to use.
The small controls on the touch screen are a bit difficult for big fingers but I manage. I'd recommend it so far. Had it over a month and videoed several things and all turned out well.

Not Mac compatible.......2007-06-08

I returned the product after one use because I'm a Mac user and it is not compatible with I-Movie
The camera seemed ok but I was disappointed.

Don't buy this camera.......2007-06-07

Although this product did have good zoom and sound quality, the picture quality was horrible. The colors were very dull and dark. It was not cooperative when opening the disk compartment and it was very small to hold. You need to use a tripod or get sick while watching your video. You also have to use the touch screen to do most tasks and that sucks down the small amount of battery life they provide you with.

This product is very easy to use. It has simple features, is light and easily managable. The features for the price cannot be beat. This sells for over $400 at Walmart and Best Buy. I would recommend this product to all!
