Shopper : Is this camera new?? Not refurbished or used?NATHAN B : I have to say that this is by far the best camera I've purchased in a long time. However, when I got mine, it appeared as though it had been used. There were videos left on it, but they looked like test videos. Adorama was kind enough to give me 10% back when I called, though, and it has been a great camera ever since!LAVINIA L : The cam corder I purchased from Adorama was new.
Shopper : how well does it work with iMovie?JOHN L : I found the Sony HDR-CX160 video camcorder to be very compatible with iMovie. I recommend purchasing the iLife with the trailer feature. It is awesome what you can to with this camera and that program.
I was reluctant to purchase a HD camera thinking it would be too complicated. However, it was just as easy as the standard definition cameras I used in the past. The video quality is far superior. JL from FLLOREE R : Loree Riggs
Sorry, I've never used it that way. I'm just getting used to recording with theCamcrder.ARCH B : We like ours, we haven't taken full advantage of all it will do. But what we have used it far it worked great. I am not one for reading directions, but I was able to just in and use it right away. The one mistake I made was when you set it up you need to tell it to save to the build in drive or you sd card. I wanted it saved on the SD card, and this caused me a little trouble when I went to down load.
Buy, we enjoy ours.
Shopper : am looking for a sony HDR-cx 160 pal system, is is one?Chris E : No, it's NTSC. Under specifications, look for the 'video signal' section, that's where
you will find out whether or not a camcorder is PAL or NTSC.
