Title: Good camera for price but beware of repair costs.
Review: When I first purchased this camcorder I was very happy with what you could do with it, but within less than a year of use I could no longer charge the battery or download my video into my computer(the problem being the camera and not the battery, the charger, or fire wire). I have been very careful with this camera, never dropped it, wet it, or banged it. It was always carefully put away when not in use, so I know my treatment of this camera was not at fault, but now I have a useless piece of equipment and in order to repair it my only option is to send it to Sony for a minimum charge of $232.00 plus shipping. There is no authorized repair center in my area or even within a 150 miles of where I live and those repair centers that Sony listed will not touch this camera. If you do purchase this camera I recommend also purchasing an extended warranty. I wrongly assumed that Sony would manufacture a product that would last more that 10 months!
