I bought this camcorder two years ago and never used it until a few days ago and it fell apart the second I began recording! The lens fell right off! and there is nothing I can do to get it fixed I should have tested it when I bought it. I do not recomend this camcorder as it is very cheaply put together.

no one can fix it

I bought this for my husband for christmas. We both found it very easy to use with great pictures. I couldn't afford a digital camcorder, so I went for the digital zoom. The digital zoom is amazing!!!! With a stable picture. The features are also fun.

Confused about included accessories!

I purchased two of these cameras as gifts and in the "features" part of the description it indicates that the camera comes with a remote control. It evidently is an error because it does not have a remote and there is no mention of one on the packaging even though the instruction manual shows it as an included feature...

Disapointed!

I was very disapointed with the quality of the picture. I compared it to my full sized VHS camcorder. I tried two different tapes, but neither of them were even close to the old camera in color or resolution. The features are really neat, but I am returning it. It is not worth the money even at the really low price. Very sad!!
