Digital camera Review: Sony Harddrive Video Camera
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this cameta for my daughter for Christmas. The camera and accessories arrived on the expected delivery date in perfect condition. My daughter is delighted with the camera. It has amazing performance, and so many features it is unbelievable. One of the features she likes best, is the touch screen menu, it makes everything simple.
The price was great, and the delivery was on time, I'm very satisfied.

Digital camera Review: Good camcorder with rough power adaptor
Summary: 4 Stars
The camcorder is easy to use and produces video with good quality. Its size is small enough to be carried around conveniently during travel. However, one thing compromises the size and quality of the camcorder: the AC power adaptor. I do not like its big size and rough quality compared with the camcorder itself. Why Sony cannot make it smaller and better? I have to carry it along with camcorder to make sure I could charge anytime, but its size makes this inconvenient.Digital camera Review: This deserves the name "handy" cam
Summary: 5 Stars
I had seen different versions of this camera in the store, but was completely surprised by how small this baby is. First I was concerned that this meant less power/quality, but not at all!
This camera fits into the palm of your hand for very convenient, inobtrusive filming, and you can just slip it into your purse/pocket to have it with you for that precious film-worthy moment.
Love it love it love it!

Summary: 5 Stars
The video camera is nice and compact, and light. I purchased this primarily to record my daughter who dances at our high school. Often I am in the stands, but not at the top of the bleachers. This model has more of a wide angle than my previous Canon video camera, so I am able to get more of the whole routine even though I am in the middle of the stands.
I read several comments/criticisms about the zoom -- for my purposes, the zoom on this is fine.
I really like the ability to play back a segment from the hard drive without having tapes, and rewinding.
The operation is very simple and I was able to start using the camera without reading the manual. The touch screen is nice...
I have not used the camera portion yet -- I understand from the other reviews that the quality may not be that great... but I have a camera that I would use for regular pictures anyway... that is not the main reason I bought this unit.
I did the one-touch burn to DVD... and it worked well. It moved ALL of my video over. It would have been "nice" to have the ability to pick which video's to transfer over, but... then I guess it would not be 1-step anymore would it. To "select" which files, I hooked the camera up directly to a DVD burner, and recorded the segments I wanted.
