I love this camera! I was looking to buy a new camcorder since my old JVC one broke. I got this one because of the sale price, but I'm so glad I did. Video is clear, it is lightweight, small. Basically everything I'd want in a camcorder. Obviously I'm not using for any professional kind of stuff, but for family and vacation filming, its great!

This camcorder has a extremeley noisy cassette chasis mechanism, it is
a very annoying and a intermittent problem. Other than that this camera
is satifactory, I believe it is over priced for the quality of the video,
especially recording low light conditions.

this is the worst camcorder i've ever owned.the picture quality is the worst.i can't get a clear picture unless i focus at one distance.if i move a little,or something moves in the picture it goes out of focus.i haven't got one decent video with this piece of garbage yet. i recommend panasonic,it was the last camera i owned and every picture was crystal clear.it's my fault i didn't do my research before i bought this.

I am not yet totally familiar with the operation of the Camcorder as I have only used it a couple of times. I seems to work as it should. I have had trouble with the Light. According to the manual, the light shoud come on when you push the record button and go off when you stop recording but the light stays on as long as the camera is on. Also, once you go in and change items in the menu like 16:9 Wide to OFF. The next time you turn the camera on you have to change it again. On the second day I filmed, I got a lot of static in the sound. Maybe my problems has to do with the fact that I am not totally familiar with the camcorder yet. I will give another review after I use the camcorder for a while.

I won this camera in a contest and now I'm kinda wishing I never had. Practically everything I've shot with this thing has turned out bad in some way or another. From the autofocus that can never decide what it wants to focus on, to the very poor image quality in slightly low lighting situations, to the camera recording glitches in the audio when I capture onto my computer. I know you may look at this thing and feel like the price is right, but I really suggest you just hold out a little while longer to save up a bit more and buy a Canon camera that's not gonna cause you these problems.

Some times there are problems getting the DVD to finalize especially if you let the battery run down. The run time on the battery is only about 20 minutes max, be prepared to purchase additional batteries.

This camcorder has lots of great extras and is very easy to use. You can record using only two fingers on one hand to control most all aspects. It's very simple to use and has very good picture quality. Still pictures turn out great too. I would recommend to others.

I bouth this CAM because three qualities:
1. Wide screen. It promised me 2.7" LCD screen, but just it has 1.5"x1.5" (only in 16:9 wide mode it has 2.7"x1.5"). I have a Sansung i5 camera that really has a 2.5" LCD screen, and I thouth in this case it was to be the same.

2. The remote control. In the tecnical data it says: "include remote control". But when i wrote the manual, it said that the remote control is only for SC-D364 and SC-D366 CAM.

3. Light for night vision. But light just cover a little distance, and the cuality of the image/video is not good in dart light condition.

I`m not satisfy with this produt.

The camcorder does not have remote control but there is a battery in the box with remote control written on it. You can not copy the recorded movies on the camputer. other than that it is easy to use abd sufficient.
