Advantages: Great camera, great zoom, many features, and good to use Disadvantages: No USB cable, Nightshot is not great, USB SLOT where the LCD panel goes. Touchscreen mishap a bit
I got this camcorder from a online shop, and I was surprised how tiny it was. When you get the camera, you dont get a USB cable. Thankfully I had I spare, and you get a AV cable, and the the main charger. There is no firewire cable but you can get those cheap. There is no tapes included, so make sure you buy some before-hand. Anyway enough of that and we get on with the review. I think this is a amazing camera, it fits nicely on your hand and you ... ...make sure it don't fall off your hand. So on the front you have a microphone, and a IR sensor which means it will film in pitch-black. You have your lens and what is good there is no external lens cap which can damage the lens. Where the lens is, there's a small switch to the left called lens cover, and open and close. So you need a click of the switch to open or close the lens, really convent. The zoom is 40X optical zoom, and 2000 digital zoom. ...

Advantages: compact, multifuctional and easy to use. Disadvantages: over sensitive microphone.
...Christmas I bought myself this Sony handycam in the January sales for what I thought to be a very reasonable £185.99, it truly is a handycam very compact and light too.
At first when I got home and eagerly unwrapped it from its impressive packaging I thought to myself I will still be trying to learn how to work this next January but I was pleasantly surprised by the ease of use once you have read the very straight forward instruction manual. Although ... ...have the great reputation of Sony but also a two years manufacturers warranty for peace of mind. I believe both curry's and comet still stock this camera and it can also be picked up many places on line although shop around as I have seen it for as little as £179.99 to as much as £225 so be careful where you buy it.
I hope this review has been enjoyable and informative to you and thanks for reading! ...
