Negative Positive
Title: Sad experience
Review: There are two major problems with this camcorder. It's incompatible with mac and the quality of still-image is extremely low.1. If you are mac user, as I am: don't bother buying. Sony is a slave to Microsoft, so the output files (vob file format) are basically useless. Not only you can't import them to iMovie, but also you can't PLAY your footage on your Mac. Unless you download semi-legal software, rip the file (30min process), and are ready to sacrifice audio, the camcorder will be useless. This is a huge disappointment.2. Still-image function is a joke. I first jumped on this option (we spent 2 months traveling in Europe this summer), because the perspective of carrying camcorder and camera at the same time was unpleasant. I downloaded the pics onto the computer only to learn, that I captured our beautiful memories with cell phone like quality pictures.This equipment was nothing but a sad experience. I will never buy anything by Sony again.
