You live the ultimate life? You want the ultimate camcorder to come along with you. This incredible, top of the line, camcorder from Sharp gives you all the features you need in a high resolution, high-end camcorder. From the baby's first steps to the parents 50th wedding anniversary this incredible product will record it all in the crisp clear resolution of the Hi8 format while the big, bright 3" Color LCD Screen allows you to see the action as soon as it happens. The monitor is coated with a special anti-fingerprint resin to help reduce fingerprints and make it easier to wipe them off.Hi8 extends the performance of standard 8mm format to near-professional heights. The Hi8 circuit allows the ViewCam to record a video signal with 400 lines of resolution, 40% better than conventional 8 mm. This gives you an amazingly vivid picture with superior color resolution and greater detail. The D.I.S. circuit senses movement of the user holding the camera and helps to reduce image shake and jitter, delivering a more stable picture thus giving your videos a cleaner, more professional look and feel. Title Writer allows you to customize your own titles with up to 15 characters. 270 Degree Twist Operation allows the flexibility needed for shooting from different angles. Shooting from the waist so that kids are taped at eye level is a snap and it's just as easy to shoot over a crowd by angling the screen down. The Auto LCD Brightness Control function automatically changes the backlight brightness level of the LCD screen to match lighting conditions. The result is effortless LCD screen adjustment when moving from indoor to outdoor scenes.

I THINK THIS IS A WONDERFUL VIEWCAM BUT YOU SHOULD OFFER A FREE DOWNLOAD OF THIS ITEM, LIKE SOME OF THE OTHER MODELS!! I HAVE LOST MY OWN!!

I puchased the Sharp and found it easy to use but disapointing in low light and indoor situations with slow auto focus and color shifting. I finally replaced it with a Sony TRV66 which is quite a bit more expensive but performs much better all round.

 "Good Deal From Amazon.Com" 1999-10-11

I ordered it from Amazon and it came in 2 days (with 2 day air UPS option). This is a very functional camcorders and well-priced for a Hi-8 unit. It lacks the touch-sensitive screen found on the higher-end Sharp units, using rather small clikc-type buttons across the bottom of the screen. The Electronic Image Stabilization seems to only work welll when you are zoomed in on high-contrast shapes. That enables it to lock in and stabilize the image. Stabilization does not seem to work at all on general scenes lacking these characteristics. Compared with my own Sony, the image sensitivity does not seem as good, even in a normally lit room. Without bright lights on, the colors seem faded and without saturation. A good all around Hi-8 unit for the price, but maybe not for a lot of inside use.

 "Outstanding quality in a hi8 cam-camera." 1999-09-07

I just purchased the latest model VL-H875U I absouletly love it. This is the first of its type I have purchased over the old 5 lb quasar VHS format cam camera I have owned since the late 1980s. The ease of learning to use it was simplicity in itself. I would highly recomend it to anyone interested in this type of photography. Hi 8 excells all others.

Tiny buttons drive you nuts? Try a touch screen! Who needs a standard squint 'n' peek viewfinder when Sharp's Viewcam design offers a 3-inch color LCD screen that swivels 270 degrees? Without the camera stuck in your face, you can easily see what's going on around you, shoot over crowds or even point the camera back at yourself.The VL-AH50U's controls put exposure settings, a titling option and special effects literally at your fingertips. And don't worry about fingerprints or smudges: Finger oils don't stick to the LCD's special coating. The LCD is a special "low reflective" model for use in daylight. The 16x optical zoom is among the best for capturing far-away scenes.

 "Great color videocamera!" 2006-07-10
By Karyn Ormiston (Central California)
I loved the large color 3" LCD screen it rotates 360 degrees for shooting at any angle. Overall it is a simple and elegant camera with impressive durability and quality of workmanship. Controls are well thought out and easy to understand. Image quality is great in all but the very lowest of light. A 10+

 "Great features for the price, but poor durability" 2003-07-06
By hairymon (Mt. Vernon, NY United States)
I actually got this camcorder 2 1/2 years ago as my first camcorder in anticipation of the coming birth of our first child. It offered a lot of great features for the price, and I thought the 3" viewscreen right on the camcorder was a big improvement over viewfinders and pop-out screens.

And lo and behold, when we got it, it worked exactly as we thought and we got some great memories.

But then the lens cap broke. And it started to jam tapes regularly. And put dots and speckles into some recordings. And after 3 months of use my battery wouldn't recharge anymore. I brought it in for a repair and a replacement lens cap/battery, but 9 months later all 3 problems happened again.

The first repair was under warranty, I paid for the 2nd one. But last month was really it. My sister, who lives 400 miles away from me, had twins around the same time our son was born and we went up to visit them for their 2nd birthday. My wife took (or I should say tried to take) an hour of video of me playing with all 3 boys and another 2 hours of video of all of us going to the zoo together. Well, you know what, nothing came out, because THE TAPE WAS JAMMED AGAIN! Only this time, the camcorder did not give me any message warning me of this during her attempted recording, so we thought all was fine.

So today, 2 weeks before our 2nd child is due, I threw in the towel and bought a Samsung DV camcorder. Cest la vie....I have 2 Sharp TV's that work great (one is almost 20 years old!) so I don't know if I simply got a "lemon" or if their camcorder standards are just lax compared to their other electronics.

Brand new camcorder has 3 large dots on the screen. Sharp authorized service centers in New York are taking forever to fix it. I am fed up.

This is a great camera especially for a teen. It is easy to use, compact and great fun for the price.

I am very pleased with my Sharp VLAH50U camcorder. It had many more features than advertised and the price was the best I could find anywhere with the free shipping. It shipped the next day and arrived in good condition. This is my first camcorder and I am looking forward to using it this Christmas.

 "Still not bad" 2007-12-28
By Pama Lausch (Santa Fe, TX)
I have had this camera for approximately 4-1/2 years now, and it's still a good product. The only complaints I have are that (1) it doesn't connect to the computer in any way, and there are no longer products out that will convert the RCA cables into a USB input. (2) The battery will not hold any type of charge whatsoever anymore - I have to plug the camera into a wall to be able to use it, and replacement batteries are near impossible to find at ridiculous prices. From Sharp directly it's a $50 battery. I managed to find one at Fry's for about $30, but it's still NiMH and I would like to find a lithium-ion so we don't have this problem again. Other than that, it's a wonderful camera, and I absolutely love it.

 "Everything I Wanted In A Camcorder" 2001-12-27
By N. Todd Evans (Bainbridge, GA USA)
I wanted a reliable, simple to use, high quality camcorder at a good price and the Sharp VLAH150 so far has met all my criteria. You can't go wrong buying this camcorder.

 "Two words to describe ease of use--Point and Shoot !!!" 2001-12-18
By Charlie Mata (Orange County, CA USA)
My wife and I looked at many camcorders and she instantly liked this one. I asked her why and she said the design(non-flip 3" screen) and the main reason was that there wasn't a million buttons all over it. Buttons scare the average person. Once we started using it she told me thats why she would not use our old one. This model is very simple and gives new meaning to 'point and shoot'. Personally I like lots of features and boy, does this camera have features! Letterbox recording, black and white, sepia, strobe, photo shot, pic-in-pic, awesome zoom. All this and lots more!! You can't beat it for the price (...).

 "took some getting used to" 2001-07-17
By Megan D'anne Bright (Staunton, VA United States)
This is my second camcorder, and it did take some getting used to. I guess I was used to my older one, even more so than I thought. Once I played around with this camcorder for a couple hours I got the hang of it and started to really enjoy it! I love the photo shot effect, as well as the fact that I can shoot in black and white. At first, I missed my old camcorder, but now I love this one!

 "Great Product for the price" 2001-06-13
By Mohammed Z. Khadir (Mount Prospect, IL USA)
Great zoom features and the camera is light and Easy to use and has great features such as 16x optical zoom and 400x digital zoom. The only problem I have is that it doesnot connect to the computer. The image in the camcorder is OK for the price point and image shakes violently in digital zoom mode if you are zooming in too much.
