This one I used a little over a year,my oldest was in an auto accident life support so I was not using it for some time come 2yrs later around Christmas I go to use it and it would not play tapes or record. I bought this camera shortly after it came out. I owned a Sony Handycam prior and had it for a long time before it died on me at least 5-6yrs. I would allow me to put the tapes in but not working so disappointed. My warranty was over by then even though it was used very little the warranty had expired what a waist of money.
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.
Only used a few times before started not working. Keeps saying reinsert tape. If I take the battery off for a few minuets it works some times but never know when or for how long.
Pictures are all different colors from blue to yellow. This Camcorder is useless. Manual WB is a basic standard on all camera and camcorder so why was it left off this one. 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. When compared to one with manual WB this camera sucks. 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. This is a worthless camcorder.
I shot video at a party for a music video with it once, and am currently using it to make a film I wrote. 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. 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. I only recommend that you buy lots of tapes--it's just fun to waste tape on recording random crap sometimes.
