- Good Camera but you need lots of extras to actually use it
I bought mine in late 2005, but didn't use it when I was overseas because the supplied software was TERRIBLE and I never could get it to work.I ended up using the video capture on my separate Digital camera.So, a year later, I fired it up this week and spent an entire day trying to play a video I recorded yesterday on my PC... being a digital video novice, here are the caveats you need to know after I spent all day on it, plus read all 43 review before this one:

- Mine's still working after 26 months
I've read some poor reviews on what's happened over time with other people's Handycams, but I must say that mine still works after 2 years, a few typhoons and several 'dropping' accidents. I'm just now beginning to find some of the neat features of this camcorder, too!
The reason I purchased this camcorder was because of the colored infrared nightshot, which works great! You can take pictures in pitch darkness.Although I must say recently I've noticed problems with the handycam's playback ... Read More

- 2 years old and same problem
I bought this camera in winter of 2004.It was a good camera for about a year and a half.This past summer I started getting the same "Video Heads are Dirty" message that everyone is getting.I've tried cleaning, but am still getting the message.Now it won't even recognize that there's a video cassette in it.
Looks like I need to take it to be serviced, but I fear what the cost will be.
Rating: - Long time owner
I have had this camcorder for at least 3 years. I received it as a gift. I love it. It's easy to use, takes great still photos as well as awesome video. I make many little home movies with this camera along with my computer. It's zooms in and out nicely, had night shot and the battery charges quickly and lasts a long time. I did require a special cable that didn't come with the camera though. But as a long time user of this camera I must say its worth the money. I know it was under $400.00.
