Great for the price!

Well, I'm just amazed this model is still in production the way things are changing so quickly in the A/V world.

I bought mine two years ago and have recorded many hours of my children as they are growing up. This is a truly low maintenance and low cost solution for your video recording needs if you don't have a lot of money to spend on a digital set-up.

Just buy and extra after market battery or two (and they're cheap) and some inexpensive analogue tape, and start recording away!

After you climb the learning curve, of course. My one problem with this camcorder is that the controls are anything but intuitive, and they're splattered all over the unit. Be sure to read the user manual carefully before you try to use this thing, but once you've got it down you'll find this a trusty and low cost companion for your family vacations and holidays.

Oh yeah, almost forgot, the microphones aren't stereo but they're really quite good for an entry level unit.

great Camcorder

I purchased this camera about a year ago and I have had no problems with it yet.. It is also light weight and is compact.... Great product...

Review of purchased camcorder.

I was very pleased the fast shipment. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my husband, and he loves it. Every day he finds a new feature.

8mm archiving

Steven, i would like to know how you record to DVD-R from this camcorder. I know sony offers a video adaptor, (VMC-20FR) for connecting to a TV or VCR; do you connect to a VCR, then to a DVD-R recorder?

Pinnacle Systems makes a DVD Recorder that connects composite video to USB, is this what you use? I too want to preseve my old 8mm analog tapes, and i am looking for the best way to accomplish this.
