"Has its bad and good points" on by adbullpit
Pros: small , lightweight, great picture on TV
Cons: Software is terrible, stills are not worth having, terrible customer service.
Summary: I brought my handycam only 2 weeks ago and about 3 days ago got a clean head warning appeared on the LCD I have'nt opened the tape compartment since i brought it and put one in. I've only used about 40 mins of recording. When I rang Sony Australia they were very unhelpful and basically told me it was my fault and if it was to break that would be the end of my viseo camera untill i paid to get it fixed, and wasnt covered by their warranty, I was planning to extend my warranty with them as i have 90 days to do so after purchase but if i get it for this problem im wasting my money as if the heads do die then im not covered and have to pay them to get it fixed. What is covered by there warranty, I dont think i can get my money back so am very worried that im stuck with a Lemon Dudd camera.
It is a great camera otherwise especially the video on the TV. -

"A really great camcorder!" on
Pros: I got this camcorder for almost a year now and seen then I have no problems. I think that it’s really good for everything you get for that price range. No other company gives you that Night-Shot quality like you get with this Sony camcorder. The battery t
Cons: The only bad thing that this camcorder has is that it could have a much lower background noise ratio when you record and a better grip. That’s all.

Cons: I had this camera since March, and just yesterday went through my first one hour tape. Towards the end of the tape I played back material; when I went to review again it was gone. Just yesterday I put in the new tape; took some video, and was given a di

"Sony DCR-HC30" on by Barney Smith
Pros: Easy to use when it works
Cons: Problems that render the camera unusable
Summary: We're were intermittently happy with this camera. Now, we're dissatisfied with it. It's worked great (easy to use) until suddenly, there were problems with the tapes and the memory stick and on-off switch. The memory stick starts clicking like it's trying to read something but it's not engaged (clicking sound) The on/off mode switch isn't functioning properly either. I thought by purchasing a Sony product there would be some quality behind it. We tried calling Sony, waste of time. We tried using the CNET forum to see if others had the problem (they did) and any final solutions (none). Waste of money, stay away from Sony handycams.
