• Not Mac compatible
  I am using this camera, and it is nice. However, my biggest gripe is that it is not Mac compatible. Many creative types use a Mac, which comes with very nice movie software. I have both Macs and PCs, but would have preferred to use my Mac.
  Because it wasn't compatible, I purchased Sony's Vegas, but would have been much happier using iMovie.
  

• Sony, always improving
  Sony, getting better all the time: This is not my first video camera, I started about 20 years ago with the Betamovie and with it I've made videos with such good quallity that I didn't change it by the next one, the Video 8 because it still wasn't better until the first Hi8 appeared which was really better than the Video 8 and the Betamovie, after it I've been changing my video cameras each three or four years and once I've tested a Panasonic which wasn't bad but, I've always felt better with Sony, and each... more info

• Good cam tough format.
  I think the obvious has been stated.
  The camera does a great job with good lighting. Low level lighting is an issue.
  I knew that before I bought.
  I also knew to have Sony Vegas primed for the AVCHD formatted files.
  Playback is difficult on slower processors and editing via a laptop even with core2 duo processors is rough.
  I hook the camera up to the TV via the mini hdmi/usb thumb drive via PS3/USB cable to PS3/SD DVD with AVCHD as BR on PS3.
  The battery life has been ok... more info

• The camera is good but format is a problem
  The camera has shot good videos but to play them you need a powerful computer. So unless you have a dual core high speed processor you may not like to view the videos... I returned mine as i didn't want to upgrade my laptop just for the sake of AVCHD video format... i don't know when this format problem will get resolved or probably i will wait till my current laptop is completely obsolete...
