AI was pleasantly surprise to see how tiny this camera is... compared to my previous Sony camcorder, this seemed almost miniature making this a perfect camera to take along on excursions. I never liked toting a large camera along. The video quality is superb while digital picture quality is the... Read full review »

Cons Engineering flaw rendering the camera useless after only a few minutes of filming.
Recommended it? No

As readers will find by searching the internet, and much to my chagrin, this camera and it's kin in Sony's DCR-SR line have an engineering flaw with the connection between the camera body and the touch screen.
