just minor stuff. The one thing I'd read alot about was the viewfinder LCD screen can be hard to see out in the bright daylight and that is very true with it. I think video quality is very good. However, the more I'm using this camera, the more I like it. It hasn't been too hard to figure out, but then I've done a small amount of video editing with another program I use. I emailed Sony and they suggested the back light should be turned on then. All I could see was my reflection.
I haven't had another situation like that since so I'm anxious to try that and see if its any better. I did have one day that it was a little tough to see the viewfinder and I found that shading my eyes helped me see it better. I purchased this model a few weeks ago and have been using it as I can. If you try to use it for that you are definitely going to need a tripod or monopod. The pictures were not that great at all. I think the software that came with it is pretty great. All in All. I'm very excited to try that out.
It made the LCD Screen be just like a mirror. I have ordered the SONY VRD-MC5 DVDirect® MC5 Multi-Function DVD Recorder which will allow me to Transfer home movies and digital pictures to DVD quickly and easily, without a PC. I tried the night setting and yes it might make things a bit greenish, but you can see so well. I would not recommend using it to take still photos. Connects with virtually any camcorder, VCR, DVR or digital camera. I'm very happy with this camcorder and I did a lot of research before finally deciding this one was the one.
I purchased this product to replace my broken T1, which was sufficient for me to capture photos and video clips for my baby's growth. Good parts: video clip size is small, comparing to CANON, night shot mode is sharp. After very long research, and debating on another DC or Camcorder, I picked this one based on Amazon's reviews, and more likely, hoped the 1M still shot capability would be good enough, and also utilize the hybrid feature of this machine for my just-bought 4GB MS. Unfortunately, other than the compact sze of this camcorder, nothing was really pleased me: no view finder, just-so so video quality (unless in bright light or outdoor, which I don't use that much), very poor (soft) still image, the photo button will not aid to a stable picture, no snap shot feature during taping, hybrid function does not help a lot, because the 60GB HDD is larger enough for my applications, no thumbnail available for video clips (wondering why the format is different from T1); after all, the price is too high, even for a SONY. and Amazon has a pretty good service system, I've got full refund and bought a CANON SD1100IS instead, and loved it so far. so maybe in the couple of year, another camcorder, but HD for sure.
The unit is verty compact and light weight. It is easy to use and particularly convenient for travel applicatuions. My unit has 60GB hard disk drive which is sufficient for most of my one to two week travel applications.
Wish I could explore all the features of it. Four days of usage and I was hardly using 10 gb out of 60 gb.
This was fitting my budget with lots of required specifications. This is my first camcorder and I selected this after a careful study of exisiting models across various brands like panasonic, jvc, canon.
Lots of space.I need not bother about space. I did go to nearest electronics shop and had a look at it before ordering it and comparing it other models.
I used it extensively in my recent trip to smokies and it was fantastic. Clarity was good.
I would recommend this to any new comers into the camcorder world.
It is a good handy cam, however I was not satisfied with video resolution. So returned it. But at this price you can't expect more then that. Camcorder had a problem with zoom in and out operation, there was some mechanical noise and it was getting recorder in video. Got full refund from amazon instantly. no troubles at all, Thanks amazon.
