Great first-timer
I had been kicking around the idea of buying a camcorder for a couple of weeks and bought this model just two days before going on vacation. I didn't do a whole lot of research I just liked the look and the price. It is small and sleek and super easy to use. It can use regular 8MM tapes Hi8 or Digital8. I used it for recording live music performances in Nashville and was happy with the quality of the video and audio on playback. There are 8 effects for shooting (sepia stretch etc.) along with three fade-ins/outs. So I have more options than I really know what to do with at this point but I'm sure I'll get into them as I use it more. The display is sweet and can rotate around.
My one complaint is the battery area. The battery clips on the back but there is no cover - my Sony digital camera has a locking compartment the battery slides in. I'll probably also be picking up a spare even though it seems to hold a charge well. I really like the size because I have small hands and short fingers but I can still use the strap and reach all the buttons.More detail ...
