Simple to use
Last year my son was receiving a big sports award in his sport category and I wanted to be able to preserve the memory forever. I had an older model camcorder that I didnt feel was reliable and went out shopping around for a small lightweight reliable camcorder. I spoke to a few friends and they recommended the Sony Handycam. I chose this version because it uses mini disks as well as flash drive. The mini disks can be played on my computer. I can review what I record right on the handycam itself because it has a viewer. Also it has adapters that allow me to plug it directly into my computer and play it on my screen. I can also download my videos to my computer and save them on it. The disks hold about 30 mins of recording time. I purchased a bunch to keep onhand. When I travel I use a carrying case. This fits right into my purse and in the palm of my hand. I also purchased a memory card that I have stored inside the camera. I got the one with the most amount of space so that it lasts me longer. I also purchased an extra battery so that I always have a charged spare on me. The batteries dont tend to stay charged very long. The good thing is that the batteries are charged right in the camera with the adapter. This camera has good zoom nice picture color and quality.
