Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'd been looking for a good home video camera to replace my old JVC of 14 years. So far, I have been quite pleased.

This product is GREAT!!!!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this camera. I originally had the 60 gig cam, and ended up having to return it. When i found out that there was a 80 gig...I was all over it. The best feature on it that sets it apart fom the 60 gig is the built in light. It help alot.

Question
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just started using my new camera and so far so good. Does anybody know if an external mic can be hooked up to it? If so, what type I would need? Thanks

Exactly what I hoped for!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are looking, and have the extra to spend on a nicer unit, go with this one. There are cheaper ones out there, but this is worth the investment.

Great overall!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice size, easy to use. Compared to many other cameras & this was the best bargain out there. Many "pro" sites have reviewed this & I have to agree with them all...fantastic beyond it's price.

Don't buy if audio is important
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this camera primarily to interview old people for an oral history. The video image was secondary to the audio. The audio on this camcorder is not good. It has a built in microphone on top and the sound quality was terrible in a quiet room at 3 feet away. The sound was distant and unclear. It was unusable. I tried to find an external microphone. Eventually, I contacted a representative at the Sony website and I was told that Sony does not make an external microphone for this and similar models. SO IF AUDIO IS IMPORTANT, BUY A PRODUCT WHICH CAN BE USED WITH AN EXTERNAL MICROPHONE
