The Sony company must be really proud of their accomplishments. The 700 x digital zoom with the optical 20 x on this handycam is extremely out standing. This handycam comes with steady shot and night shot performance that stands on it's own.
The view finder fits the eye nicely not to large not to small. Easy to load with digital 8 tapes. The LCD screen is a little small but very clear and simple to use once you get use it is not so bad.
I hated the fact that all the buttons on this machine are so small. The writing is small as well. I realize that this camera is suppose to be a handy size but the buttons can be improved on. The focus button is in a great location but it is to small as well. The fact that it is the first button on the right side of the camera lower side does help to get to it quickly.
The battery does not run down to quickly on this camera and is easy to recharge and to install and uninstall.
Setting up to see a movie on your TV is also simple to do and this camera does a nice job of showing movies. The digital stills this camera takes can be improved upon. Over all it does a nice job. If your looking for a fun camera this one is fine, but if your looking for top of the line movies and pictures buy a higher end model from Sony.
The accessories are pretty darn good, with a remote for the handycam when watching your movies on a TV to all the cords required to run this camera. A accessory bag is a necessary item when travelling with this camera.
Sony's warranties are great, easy to deal with. The service this company supplies is great.
