Title: Reliability problem
Product review: Sharp VL-WD255U has ALL functions that I want. It can also supports photo on the Smartmedia card. Serial cable make it easy for me to download into any PC. I love all functions. However, after using it for less than two weeks, the picture started to mis-synchronize (Mosaic) and can't be viewed any more.I had a similar experience with the Cannon ZR model. After exactly one year, its picture started to mis-synchronize. Cannon service center (Irvine California) charge about $145 to inspect but do not guarantee to repair it. I sent it for fix. After few months, the problem was back.My first camcorder is the Sharp analog model, also one year life. My colleague told me similar story about his camcorder and suggested me to buy the extended warranty (which may cost about $140 for 4 years).
