By Joseph Manzione (USA)
Three things about the Camcorder that I ordered.

1)-The person ,Mona, who sold it has got to be the nicest person

selling on Amazon.com.

2)- The Camcorder was actually in better condition ( I would

call it MINT)than advertized.

3)- The Camcorder actually arrived three days before the promised

date.

All in all- just a GREAT EXPERIENCE- I would not hesitate ordering from her again--HIGHLY RECCOMMENDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 "GREAT CAMERA NOW SELLING CHEAP!" 2003-01-05

THis camera is great. I have had it for over a year and it has worked perfectly. The picture is great and it is small and handy. Also it is now selling for 299.99! It is a steal. I would suggest anyone buying it who needs a ... camcorder!

 "Very Good Product" 2002-03-06
By rbhatta (Sunnyvale, CA, USA)
It is a very good product for the price that we pay for it. All the advertised Specs works and Much better than any other camcorder in it's class. I Found that this Camcorder has S-Video out too! which is very cool, It can be used to Capture Video using a MPEG Capture card and make VideoCDs!. It has LP mode and with Proper Tapes you can get about 8hrs of recording time. The supplied Battery lasts for about 160mins. Again it is a very cool product 5 Stars for it!, Buy it if you still can find it, It is hard to find this product in stores and ONLINE.

 "Lightweight & easy to use" 2002-01-19
By handy (Pacific Grove, CA USA)
It's lightweight & easy to use. It has the Sony Nigthshot feature for 0 Lux recording. The battery that came with it gave me 190 minutes from the battery display (850amphrs). I left it recordng & it went for 2 hours & then some as I didn't get to see how long it would record but at least that long. I found it easy to hold & the buttons are pretty comfortable. The zoom is an easy slide button on top instead of a rocker switch. The viewfinder was clear & with a nice adjustment so that I could see things sharp. It can even make the text in the viewfinder twice as big. The digital zoom is great but you get fuzzy pictures using it with any camera, but lucky with this camera you can turn it off, or set it to 40x or 200x. The optical zoom of 20x is very nice. Most digital cameras only have 10x zoom. I don't miss the pull out lcd view finder because I don't want strangers looking at it & I don't need a digital camera after all cause I can input the video with the s-video out on this camera into my computers s-video in card & have a digital mpeg-1 or mpeg-2 recording on the HD. Windows ME & Xp come with free video editing software anyway for this & I can out put it to vcd or svcd. Also nifty is a cool option to turn off the record light in front of the camera so people don't know you are recording :-)

 "Very nice starter cam" 2002-01-08
By H. E. Paul (Orem, UT United States)
This is my first camcorder. I was intrigued by the special price run on it. I bought it online on my lunch break and stopped by Circuit City on the way home from work and picked it up.

It is a Hi8/8mm recorder and does not record in stereo, but it is very nice! The battery says it lasts for 2 hours, but I have gotten around 3 on a charge. The camera is very simple to use. I have figured out most of the options just by playing around with it. It shoots in very low light and even has a low light feature which will work in almost darkness. The picture and audio quality are outstanding! It is worth every penny in my opinion. It is a great beginner's unit, but if you want something more high-end then I would look at a digital camera.

There are a lot of options for accessories including a 20-hour battery. The unit is very lightweight and compact, which makes it easy to carry and easy to do precision filming with. I highly recommend this unit to anyone looking to venture into the camcorder market.

 "Awesome Camcorder" 2002-05-25
By (Fond du Lac, WI United States)
I am so glad I purchased this camcorder! It was truly worth the money! Very light weight, easy to use. Very easy to play back or make a vhs copy. Many, many features that will make videoing a lot of fun! This camera was an awesome investment!

 "Great camcorder!" 2002-02-14
By S. Townsend (Northern Cal)
I had to replace my old VHS camcorder but didn't want to go digital yet, so chose the HI 8 format. I liked the features on the Canon, remote control, great zoom, fade and recording formats. I was able to charge and practice shooting within a few hours after it came in the mail. The size is great too, nice and compact. Very happy with the purchase!

 "A great camera to have" 2001-08-24
By (Pagosa Springs, CO USA)
I've had my camera now for about a month and I love it. I didn't want all the technical stuff that came along with a digital camera so that's why I wanted the next best thing. Although, this does have a lot of extra features that I look forward to using in the future. It's small, light weight and very easy to use. Basically I wanted to document my kids growing up and this will certainly do the job. I did get a little frustrated at the beginning though when reading through the manual and tried to follow the vague instructions in setting the date. If you buy this camera and go to set the date, it says to use the controller to scroll through the month, year, etc. what they are talking about is the FlexiZone controller not the remote controller that comes with it. In my last efforts, I picked up the phone and called the 800 number, to my surprise, I wasn't left on hold very long and actually got a live person to help me through the process. I was very impressed and won't hesitate to call them again for any questions. One drawback now is getting a VCR that is "S-Video" compatible. But in the meantime, playing back the footage and seeing it on the LCD monitor isn't so bad. A great camera to have. Get it now while it's cheaper than when I bought it! A great buy certainly!

 "a quality camcorder" 2001-08-20
By
The ES8200v is a very good camcorder. It has all the necessary features, auto-focus, image stabilization, an LCD flip out screen, etc. It also has a good array of other features like the remote control, the digital effects, a 700x digital zoom, and the Flexi-zone feature that helps keep the important things in focus. The only thing i have found that this camcorder doesn't have is the Sony Nightshot feature, but I don't really see that as a deturent to purchasing this camcorder. Who wants to see home movies in that green, creepy light of Nightshot? It's not digital, but that's not really important unless you plan on making movies on your computer or something. If you just want something to take with you on vacation or something, this is the one to buy. I highly recommend it to all. Happy filming!!

 "Problem with tape door :( avoid this camcorder" 2004-08-28
By John Anderson (Irvington, New York United States)
Had this camcorder for 2 1/2 years. Used it maybe for about only 20-30 hours worth of tapes.

The features were nice, video was nice, easy to use BUT!!!!

The tape ejection door is right where your hand holds the camera. The door where you insert and remove the tape started opening by itself, for no reason? Then, it would jam and get stuck. Now, I can't get the darn thing opened to remove my latest tape.



seems like other people had the same problem.



I am surprised that they have to make such a fancy mechanical door, just something more to go wrong...... and it did.



$400 +/- down the drain. Thanks for NOTHING Sony!!!!!!!!

 "Do Not Purchase a SONY!!!" 2004-06-06
By Dan Rodriguez (California)
What is wrong with the door mechanism??? I have had mine serviced (and payed for labor) TWICE for the same problem. two weeks after th second repair it stopped loading the tape again. Everything else still works, but what good is it to not be able to record or view tapes on it. I stoped throwing money at SONY, for this product. Next one I buy will be a different brand.

 "Simply the Best" 2003-04-07
By Harold Oliver (Canandaigua, New York USA)
I purchased this camera shortly after it appeared on the market. It has served me very well. It is easy to operate, and stands up well to rough and tumble use. I have used it on ocean beaches[sand], in hot air balloons[sometimes hard landings] in private planes[vibrations],taping summer event[extreme heat] and it works just fine. I have owned Sony products in the past and found them to be a wonderful consumer product.

As a point of reference, I have used apx. 150 full tape in this camcorder with perfect results.

This camcorder is no longer available, but if you can find a good clean used one , I say "go for it'.

 "Horrible" 2002-12-29
By dwarakavas kesava pantula (CUPERTINO CA)
This is my FIrst Camcorder and brought it with SONY Brand In MIND.Unfortunately sony could not live up to the expectations in this product.After I purchased it ,i might have used it couple of times and it has problem.I thought that i could get it fixed with sony warranty,but the sony service dealer said that it does not cover the Labour as it is out of 90day period needed for applying the warranty towards the repair.I had to pay the repair cost out of my pocket and got it fixed.Then later after 6 months during a trip to DISNEY i had the same problem and could not use this Camera any more from then.
i never expected that SONY products would be giving such a horrible performance for the value we pay.
BEWARE AND dont go for it .FOr the same price i paid when i purchased ,there are much advanced Camcorders in the market now.

 "Stay away from this camera!!!" 2002-10-08
By Sean P. Murphy (Londonderry, NH USA)
When I purchased this camera, I thought it was great. I thought that Sony cameras were the best you could buy. I used the camera only a handfull of times, then it wouldn't accept tapes any longer. I brought it to a certified sony service shop, paid [amt] to have it fixed. I used it 2 or 3 times over the next few months, and it now has the same problem and sony wants another [amt] to fix it! STAY AWAY!!!

Hi Everyone, I believe that this is a good cam corder but recently I bought Sony DCR-TRV 120. It is year 2000 model and has got all the features normally you find them in Sony camcorder, plus it has got 45x/450X zoom and I got it for 650$. Very good deal. Picture quality is amazing. 21/2 " screen is kinda small but still it works fine. In short check out this camara before you go for any other model.

 "This camera is trash!!" 2004-11-18
By Eppie
We bought this camera about 3 years ago, we had it for 5 months and it was never mishandled; used about 5 times. Then the tape started popping out and it wouldn't stay closed. Well, we had a service plan with it. Had to drive it 60 miles one way each time!! It has been fixed for the same problem 2 times now. It just sits in the closet. The plan is expired and we found out that it will cost about $90 to repair it (again). There is only 3 on ebay like it and 2 of those are not working as well!! Do not buy a Sony camcorder!!!

 "Pretty good camera" 2003-12-08
By Frank (New Britain,Ct)
I have owned my camera for over three years and have enjoyed it immensely. Contrary to what the specs say, it does have preset titles, and you can also make custom titles. It also has good quality pictures. I don't mind the battery charger, and I like being able to use the view finder or LCD screen. I have certainly gotten my money's worth. Too bad it's not a digital. It is a really good, dependable camera that is easy to use.

 "Good Entry Level Camera" 2003-04-27
By (Carroll Valley, PA)
I've had this camera for a couple years with no operational problems. It does suck battery a bit, so one may wish to obtain a more powerful battery pack. The only feature that I would like to have added is a stabilizer. When zoomed out, the picture tends to get pretty jumpy. But at no zoom to about half zoom, the picture is pretty solid. The sound quality and night vision capability are pretty impressive, too, for a camera in this price range.

As the title says, a good entry level video camera.

 "This camera Is terrible" 2002-12-16
By Andy (las Vegas)
Like the other reviewer, My camera is about 6 months old and it doesnt work. Don't buy this camera or any camera from Sony. A friend of mine had a different model from Sony and that to doesn't work. Sony also does not care about their customers. So, I'm stuck with this worthless piece of junk.

 "very disappointed" 2003-01-09
By
The panasonic PV-L550 was our second foray into camcorders - our 1st JVC lasted about 5 years and this one barely two- it is not durable at all ; our JVC suffered through numerous impacts without incident but the slighest bump of the Panasonic sent it to be repaired twice. Also the EIS is a joke and never functioned correctly. Wouldn't recommend this one.

 "quick and easy" 2001-09-13
By mr. tegs (Cedar Rapids, IA United States)
Yes this is my first camara. I love it though. I like having the little screen so I can watch the action live and on the screen to be sure I have the shot I want. I also like the small cassettes. They make it easy to carry around extra. There are many features on this thing that are nice to have for such a low price. The only thing it doesn't have is a remote, but you really don't need that either with the motion sensor on it. I chose panasonic because I have a boom box that they made and it is now 15 years old. I expect it to last even longer. Because of that I expect this camera to last longer then average with out any problems.

 "Good for the Price , But .............." 2000-12-15
By
I just received mine today. Everything looks very good, BUT : 1. The image stabilization does not do anything. I went to Wallmart and tried all camcorders that had Digital Image stabilization - the Sony and RCA there was noticeble difference with it on and off. I tried another Panasonic there - there is almost no difference. If you could, play little exra money (like 100.00) and get the SOny one with SteadyShot and NightVision.

 "Small but works like full size" 2000-11-22
By mr. tegs (Cedar Rapids, IA United States)
I'll keep it simple. Lots of neat bells and whistles. Small camcorder that works like full size VHS. Has a nice adaptor for the VHS VCR. I tried other camcorders and full size VHS cameras before I bought this one and it was the closest to working like a full size camera. It is very light weight even with the battery on it. Your arm does't get tired from holding it up. It is also nice to have the LCD when you want to tape your whole family you don't have to look in the view finder to be sure it's lined up right. You just turn the LCD screen to face the front of the camera.

If you want a light, small, camcorder this is the one for you.. Not to mention its also pretty cheap. The price on here was 396.91 and that included shipping charges. At Sears its 399 withOUT taxes.. Good Deal HERE!
