"Great features packed in a tiny package but not without flaw (or two)"
Pros: Bought the camera for my wife 3 days ago. Poor girl hasnt held the cam in her hands for more than an hour total. I am quite impressed with its features pack. Great body, excellent video quality, decent zoom for its size, built-in lens cover, base station
Cons: Every rose has its thorns and so does this baby! Sony is keeping alive its tradition of creating "unusual products" like F707 series digicams, IP220 camcorder, W-series PC, etc. The PC109 has unusual like-it-or-hate-it design (I am getting used to it now)

4.0 stars
Pros: Touch screen decreases amount of buttons on camera. Easy cam mode makes operation even easier. Extremly compact. like the Cnet demo says, the zoom on this camera is very nice.
Cons: No USB port on actual camera, forcing you to bring the docking station where ever you want to link up. Not very ergonomic for the hand.

"Great Portable Quick Recorder"
Pros: My two older kids are 5 and 8 and learned how to use the camera within minutes. The docking station with the built in charger is a nice feature. The touch screen makes things smooth and easy.
Cons: An automatic lens cover would be nice. It tells you to open it, but not to close it. We have been long time Sony users and have many memory sticks. I am disappointed that we have to buy a new format in the duo gateway.

Pros: size and quality was a huge factor in my decision. steady cam and night shooting was a definite plus. although the camcorder has no flash embedded, i do not intend to use it as a camera. if u want size and style..this ur machine!
Cons: the software is so not user friendly and can be a pain at times. this is definitely not meant for new users. for the price, no i-link cable, strap and camcorder handling requires alot to get used to. and sony support sucks.
