Pros Small size. Good ergonomics. Screen on back. Still photos. Compact tapes & batteries. Cons Expensive. MicroMV format may or may not equal MiniDV. Lens could be more wide-angle. Recommended it? Yes I wound up buying the new DCR-IP220 just before leaving for a vacation that included a few days visiting historical sites in the gloomy midwestern U.S. (Missouri and Illinois), and a week on sunny Grand Cayman in the Caribbean. Overall, I'm pleased with the camcorder, but bear in mind... Read full review » 5 More than just a video camera bynicoleathome Sep 19, 2003 6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Pros Video quality, multitasking, many features, high cool factor, good battery life, touch... Cons Ergonomics, microphone placement Recommended it? Yes As a professed Sony Gadget Geek, I jumped all over this camera and pre purchased it before it was even available. I love this camera. I can take it on a trip and have 2MP digital video (60 min per tape) and 2MP digital pictures (saved to Sony's proprietary memory stick.) The software that comes...

Pros Does soooo much for relatively little money. Good quality that makes me suspicious. Cons Battery life could be better. Basically useless if you don't also buy a memory card. Recommended it? Yes If you want more than this for the same money, I think you're being unreasonably greedy. (NOTE- MOST of the AIPTEK Camcorder models are VERY similar - this review should apply to several of them.) OK, it doesn't wash dishes or clean the garage. But there doesn't seem to be much more this... Read full review » 93 Awesome camcorder! bymybabyjazzy Apr 12, 2010 Helpful? 1 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
