Title: Not Worth It!
Product review: Bought this camcorder for Christmas 2001, just before the birth of my daughter. Almost immediately, a pixel went out on the LCD screen. Within two months, the tape got caught in the camera and I kept getting the message, "Eject the Cassette." I had to send the camera to a service center in upstate New York. I got it back a few weeks later. Worked for a little while, before receiving the message, "Eject the Cassette." I ran a head cleaner, but to no avail. I have never been able to use a full Mini DV tape without getting that message. I tried Mini DV tapes by Panasonic, Maxell, and Sony. None seem to work. The camera is way too unreliable. I've missed too many precious moments. Also, the quality of the video transferred to a VHS tape is very poor. Do yourself a huge favor and buy another camera. Not worth the trouble and the wasted money.
