Really disappointed with Amazon.......2007-12-28
Ordered this on 27/12, as item was in stock.
Just been on to check my account and told that the expected delivery date is between 24/01 and 14/02!! I'm not waiting a month for this camera.
Have cancelled my order, and brought it cheaper from Pixmania (£189), which will be with me in 2-4 days.
Amazon.co.uk use to be a great site - now it's full of misrepresentations and 3rd party sellers with over inflated postage costs. I ordered 10 blank DVDRW's - £9.48 with postage being £9.80! It's a joke.
Best camcoder ever.......2007-12-25
I had a tape camcoder; I think it was panasonic until it broke a few months ago and since then a camcoder has been on my wish list. I bought the previous camera two years and it cost me the same price as this one now.
This camcoder is probably the most you get for your money out of all the cameras out there.
The video quality is excellent and you can film in widescrean and surround sound. There are many modes that you can use like sports mode, potrait mode, macro mode (which is excellent) and, my favourite, night mode. This is like the effect they use on the Blair Witch Project and Most Haunted. It is an effect where you can film in pitch black with an infared light and it will pick up the areas you are pointing at without you being able to see it with your own eyes. It's great.
It is simple to use apart from I had a bit of trouble with figuring out how to get my CDs converted to be able to use on the computer and on my editing software (Magix). But once I got it it is quite simple although it is quite a bit of hassle just to be able to get one small piece of film on there.
Overall a great product
Misleading Information.......2007-12-24
At the moment I am considering the purchase of this camera. Naturally I have attempted to gather as much information as possible. I have given 5 stars because I do not wish my comments to degrade the overall average and as I already own several Sony products I am sure that the quality will be first class. However, I was disturbed to find that the manufacturer's description on the page for this product referred in fact to the DCR-DVD406E model which is considerably more expensive. This is to say the least misleading and initially it certainly led me to believe that the specification was much greater than it in fact is. I hope that this oversight will be corrected at the earliest opportunity as my dealings with Amazon have always been of the highest order and I am sure that the company would wish to clarify what appears to be an inadvertent ambiguity.
good camcorder.......2007-12-24
Ordred my camcorder from amazon and saved over £100 compared to tesco direct and received it next day. 5 stars for amazon. I've found this camcorder excellent in all areas. Picture quality, sound, zoom and ease of use is brilliant. Nightshot plus is amazing and films in the pitch-black. The best thing about this handycam is the low budget price you pay for the specifications on this nifty number. Those are the plus points and now for the negative ones. Sony need to get their act together. The manual is all over the place. An example is "getting started" is on page 19? and sums up how badly it has been composed. I agree with other reviews that a disc should have been included in the package for start and go. The biggest problem with this camcorder is extras. If you don't buy a more powerful Sony battery pack but another make, the power doesn't go through the battery connection but through the DC in jack, via a cable connected to the battery. Appartently Sony will not allow other makes to power up this cam through the battery housing. One other thing to mention. You will need a Memory Stick to take pictures, but be careful when ordering one. The manual states that data that uses "Magic Gate" technology cannot be recorded or played on your camcorder. I would highly recommend this handycam to anyone but the extras are going to be expensive if you buy Sony.
Great, simple camcorder.......2007-08-31
I got this item from another store but wanted to leave my review here. This is an excellent camcorder and the picture quality is excellent for what you are paying for. i use TDK dvd-rw discs which work fine and i get no pop up telling me its not a sony disc. the Zoom is fantastic and i find it so simple to use that you have to be a monkey if you find it difficult(no offense to other reviewers....LOL.
I have ordered a compatible NP-fh100 battery off ebay for £12 inc P+P. compared to the samsung camcorder i previously had (from amazon) this is much better. Love the superplus night shot...really spooky and works surprisingly well.
you should not be disappointed if you buy this camcorder. if you have more money to spend then get the 1 mega pixel one if not then this is a winner.
knocked off a star for the naff battery they include and the lack of any discs and case..come on sony how much money do you make each year!! LOL
