I received this camcorder in time for Christmas. I'm extremely happy with the product. Video is crisp and the motion control is great. I really like the ability to take the old VHS-C tapes from our old camcorder and be able to record them directly onto the Sony DCR-SR100 and record them to DVD in just a few easy steps. No video capture card needed. The camcorder has not given me any trouble at all in the two months I've had it. The night shot function is really cool, and the pictures it takes are not bad either. I would recommend a HDD camcorder over any of the others, including the DVD camcorders, just because I don't have to worry if I have any blank media, and no worries of recording over tapes. Just grab it and shoot, no looking around for media. I only wish that it had a 12-20x optical zoom like the lower models have, though 10x is sufficient for what I use it for.
 Works fine .............. if it works January 28, 2007

Hi
This is a nice camera , very easy to use , record , play and make DVD's.But there seems to be an inherent problem with the LCD display.Mine stopped working after a week.As every operation is using the LCD touch screen ., you cannot do anything without the display.
SO , its a nice camera , if it works. Take a chance.
I googled after the camera failed , then i saw lot of complaints , i wish i had done that before buying.
regards
Anand

I have been looking at the hard drive camcorders since they came on the market. I wanted something that was very easy to transfer to a computer without swapping media in and out. I waited until they had a little while to shake out (its been about a year now). I've heard many picture quality problems with the JVC line. I was considering the lower line of Sony's but went with this model because of the 3MP CCD. The camera is easy to use. The touchscreen works well and I leave most settings to their 'Easy' (default) settings. The still photo's are excellent. The microphone is very sensitive which is good. Low light, indoor shots were weak until I got a supplemental hot shoe light. It is very nice to just shoot and go and not worry about capacity. I had no problems with the battery running out so have not yet gotten a second battery as some have suggested. I have yet to use the video editing software but, given prior reviews and from what little I've used it, I expect to get a different package.
This is awesome !!! Simply Superb January 19, 2007

I bought this camcorder couple of months back and Life is really cool. I had a sony hi-8 prior to this. What a bif relief from tapes. Also the t* lens is awesome. I see a huge difference in the picture quality. The s/w that comes with sony is not that great but still copying from handycam to my laptop is a breeze. when it comes to still pictures the 3 MP photos were great when compared with a canon s500 5 mega pixel camera, maybe cos of the t* lens. One thing this handycam misses is the ability to take still pictures while recording. But you know this is first a handycam. So i am ok with it.
I dont think i need to purchase another handycam in 5 years.

Great camcorder, great quality photos and video. User friendly, and the touch screen is a plus, but a word or warning, the software is less than good. You need to purchase 3rd party software to be able to utilize the easy burn features easily or end up using tons of dvd-r to store your video. There are no options to compress files.
