Title: Sharp VLWD255U - AVOID!!!
Product review: I bought this camcorder in November of 2001. In the first year I only used it a handful of times and got several "Eject The Cassette" messages. I didn't think much of it because it would work some of the time. After the warranty expired, the "Eject The Cassette" message appeared every time I used it for record or play regardless of what tape (new or used) I put in it. The last straw was when I took it to the Long Beach Gran Prix and it didn't work at all. In addition, the digital camera feature is so low quality that the pictures are not even worth emailing. Very grainy, little color. So, in summary, I have a non-working camcorder that is garbage or needs costly repair after one year. I wouldn't have given this such as harsh review if this was an isolated problem but after doing some research I found this "Eject The Cassette" issue is very common in Sharp camcorders. Unacceptable.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
