"Clicking noises"
3.0 starson by namuk79Pros: high video quality outdoors, great microphone
Cons: clicking noises heard during playback, video noise evident in indoor (low) light
Summary: I just bought this camcorder and am surprised that very few wrote about this camera's drawbacks - its low video quality in indoor (low) light conditions, and more importantly: the CLICKING noise of the hard disk is recorded and easily audible during playback of video clips. Perhaps SONY should have provided a more silent hard disk or isolate the internal microphone better from the hard disk. Also would be nice to have the microphone featuring a wind screen/filter. I would like to ask others if they experienced the clicking noise. Otherwise the camera is too easy to use and fun to use.
