Title: Do NOT buy this camcorder!!!
Review: The Sony camcorders have a defect where the screen goes black on the recording mode. This only occurs after 1-2 years of owning the product - once it's out of warranty! I purchased mine about 1&1/2 years ago and used it a total of 5 hours and mine now has the so-called "black screen of death". I have "babied" my camcorder, so it is in perfect condition. Sony has so nicely offered to repair it for $291.00 plus shipping. I might as well buy a new one! There have been hundreds of people with this same problem, but Sony is doing and saying nothing about the defect. The sad thing is that this was a great camara. It was easy to use and relatively small. If you do decide to buy one, I would definately recommend the extended warranty.
