Summary: Well Very Easy to use
Review: For the money it is the best value, I does all I need and more, had one for a month and still learning to use all the features. A good starting camara. !!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great features, never a problem
Review: Had this camera for a couple years now and have never had a problem. Can't ask for any more features. The battery still holds a charge for over 4hrs of use. The image quality is great and the audio pickup(stereo) works fabulously. Only complaint would be the Camera/off/VTR switch, but not for the same reason as the others listed. I just don't like the location of it and it can be a little bit of a hassle getting it to the off position. But I've never had a problem with it not turning the camera off or the light on.

Botton line: Easy, simple to use and connect to a TV or to a computer for emailing video (with the right computer hardware).

Summary: Excellent camcorder loaded with features
Review: I have been greatly impressed since I began using my TRV66. It has a wonderful picture, great effects and features. The night-vision thing is fun too! The titles, dates, image fading, and all the features listed in the description work great and allow you to make a wonderful recording.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good product for a Starter
Review: I have been using the Sony TRV66 for the last two weeks and have found that it satisfies all my needs.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Buyer beware !
Review: I have no idea how good this product is and will never know as no Sony product will ever cross our threshhold ever again since Sony refuses to stand behind the TRV -103 "lemon" camcorder that I own; It failed once in warranty and same exact failure again out of warranty with less than two hours usage.

Summary: Compact Camcorder, refuses to switch off or charge battery
Review: I've been using this camcorder for nearly two years. Bought it new in late 1999.

A year later, I noticed that the battery that it came with discharged if left in the camcorder, even if the camera is in the OFF position. I thought it was a battery problem & bought a new one, but same story.

As a camera, the picture is very good. No complaints on the audio pick-up either. Simple & easy connectivity to the TV for viewing or mastering to tape.

Latest problem is that in the OFF position, all the lights come on, & the battery doesn't charge. In the CAMERA position, the VTR lights come on.

I believe the problem lies with the CAMERA-OFF-VTR slider switch in the front, which seems to have been discontinued in later models. A friend with a similar SONY camcorder, using the same switch reported the exact same problems, as did one other user on some e-board.

Bottom line, not recommended as the slider switch seems to be problematic.
