Summary: Excellent value

Comment: I'm pleased with the camcorder so far. For the price, it has some nice features. The 3.5" LCD is nice and provides an excellent picture. The camera is easy to use and the menus are fairly intuitive. The one complaint I have so far is that there is not a dedicated button/switch for the digital image stabilization. You must navigate through the on-screen menus to find the DIS and toggle it on/off. This is inconvenient and cumbersome while recording. So much so that I think I'll probably never use it. But for what I plan to use the camera for, it works great and is a very good value.

Summary: Great Buy

Comment: This is a great camcorder light, compact and useful. The zoom function and pip are definite attractions.

Summary: Functional and Child Friendly

Comment: This versatile camcorder uses the Hi-8 tapes which is backwardly
compatible and makes most sense for routine use (baseball outings
camping etc). The large LCD screen and the rechargable lithium
batteries with audio are its major plusses. It has no firewire
capability and hence cannot be sent out for rapid display outside.
Overall, a sturdy, compact product from Sharp.
