Title: Not a Sony fan but this is a winner
Review: I research the daylights out of everything. So I wind up usually buying a menage of names since I don't believe any manufacturer is good at everything. Since my college days in the mid-80s, I've hated Sony products. I've always believed they waded into far too many product lines and their quality suffered. So, up until this purchase I've owned nothing Sony for 20 years. Based on the reviews, though, I just purchased this camcorder and broke it in during a trip to Berlin. You cannot beat the price for the quality. Superb zoom (optical really counts as digital blurs the picture and is artificial), easy menu, great night shot capability. All in all, a wonderful purchase. Do not hesitate to buy this Sony. Tip: get a pack of DVD+RWs to play with since you can re-record and get a pack of dual layer Rs once you're comfortable because they have much more recording space but you CANNOT re-record on them.
