 Complicated but impressive March 1, 2008
I actually just bought this camera today and I've already gotten the hang of it. It took me a while to realize that I could only take 2 pics because there is no memory card. I was stuck on that for about 3 hrs. But overall the camera is well worth the price and I love the swivel screen so I can do self photos. I highly recommend this camera if you're looking for a device that has all the basics. (web cam, video, camera)
U get whay u pay for March 1, 2008
Pros:
1. Good picture quality (for the $ paid)
2. Small size / weight
3. Simple to use in movie mode
4. Very fast start-up (1-2 seconds)
Cons:
1. Editing software (no easy way to translate MP4 into MP3)
2. Mediocre sound (sound wheezing while skiing and I am not that fast skier)
3. You need to add a memory card
Overall - for the money paid, it's a good deal.
Lightweight February 28, 2008

So this was my first video camera. Thus far it has been great. I have used it for online video presentations, my longboarding, and general wheather conditions i want to show online. Only problem i had with it, when i was recording my speech, there was feedback from the mic from any movement. Other than that, it is great. Ha, and because i have big hands, i have still have a habbit of covering the lens while i am holding the camera.

This is our first video camera. I love how lightweight and portable it is. Recently took it on our road trip to San Francisco. It takes fantastic moving videos on the road, or when I was standing still filming at Fisherman's Wharf. I even dropped it once, and it still kept on working with no problems. I have used it every day and especially enjoy filming my grandkids. Pics outdoors are great. I even took great videos indoors at Oracle Arena during and after the basketball game. Perfect.
I have uploaded videos and emailed them with no problems. Now, 3 more friends are buying one. BTW, I also have a Sony Mavica digital camera, and now I reach for this one before lugging around that huge camera!!
 Doesn't live up to expectations of a sony product. January 25, 2008
Generally, my first impression was that the camera is cheaply constructed. The LCD screen feels very very brittle, and friends who have borrowed it said the same thing. The door over the connectors is held in with a small piece of again cheap plastic or rubber material. I see this door falling off in short order. Recordning is fairly easy. Push the button and it starts, push the button and it stops. The video quality outdoors is reasonable. Indoors is not so good - and low light conditions is horrible. I assumed you could turn on the flash to use it as additional lighting but that is not the case. Low light is poor and you can do generally nothing about it other than providing an external light source. Not good if you are outside and its getting closer to dusk -- or indoors and you forget to turn on all the lights in the room before you catch that magical moment of a toddler (jk).
This brings me to software. I use a mac and iMovie or iPhoto like the camera. The built-in software is only for windows. I cannot find a mac version. I think that is a good thing because I tried the software on windows and its really quite poor. I am fairly savvy with computers and yet I am not sure what they are trying to accomplish with this horrid software.
So, in general - I am very unimpressed and would not recommend this camera at all. I originally bought it to keep around and use outdoors to not have to worry about a more expensive camera - well, I should have applied this money towards the purchase of another camera or even a digital camera with video mode - because I think that would have been much much better.
