Perfect camcorder for my hobby rocket! The camera housing and inside component was able to withstand high level of stress using camera mount and camera hood with mirror (camera viewed at the ground) that I built and I was able to install it in my hobby rocket then flew it up to 2872 feet and the video picture result was awesome plus the 5.1 channel sound was a blast! I have never seen on-board rocket video picture this beautiful. I plan to fly again to over 14,000 feet at apogee. Wish me luck!

I love this camera, its exactly as i thought it would be. Perfect for the home video's i shoot, and can undistractingly let me girlfriend carry it in her tiny purse when we go on vacation. I've also used this for some promotional marketing videos for work. It does the job simply put, and looks wonderful on my bravia tv (kdl46xbr4). As for other reviewers, If your serious and want to do it right, use final cut pro on the mac, or adobe premiere on the pc. When you get into mpeg4 and HD video, you need a dedicated video card if you want a smooth experience. Stop buying the cheapest computer you can get your hands on. You'll need a gaming type pc with a good video card to get the job done right. it's not sony's fault when you have low-quality incompadible hardware. This is neXt gen stuff! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

This is a terrific video camera. Great images and great handling. But why does Sony keep designing products that need a separate adapter? The ability to charge by USB would significantly enhance the portability of this device.

With recent updates to Final Cup Pro Express and iMovie 08, the camera works seamlessly with the Mac making it an outsandiing pocket-sized Handycam.
