Summary: GREAT CAMERA
Review: This is a great camera, I work in film production and this camera is able to capture things that not even a real film camera can. If you were to buy a camera, I would buy this one. It is GREAT value for it's price.

Review: This is a great camera. I just bought it last week, and I already love it. It has lots of high tech parts, yet it is extremely easy to use. One of the best features (I don't know if it really is called a feature) is the lightweightness of it. It only weighs 1.6 pounds! This is great because it can go anywhere. I plan to take it skiing. This is how small it is. If you have the opportunity to spend this much on a camera, definately do it. It will be a worth while purchase.

Summary: A great idiot- proof camera
Review: With it's image stabalization and all of its other automatic features, this camera makes even the most novice director look good. I can shoot from indoors to outdoors, walking, or standing still and this camera adjusts the video, lighting, etc. to what I am doing. It is more expensive than others in it's class, but accessories are easy to find, and Sony makes a high quality product. One more thing; this camera has a very nice lens, so buy a lens filter for it to keep it from being scratched.
