5 out of 5 stars Im getting me this!   August 21, 2008
I have a hc21 camera that my son dropped and broke. I cant find that one any more, I assume this is the upgrade or the replacement in the line for that one. My hc21 was excellent for the video quality I took. Mostly vacation vids and kids videos. I am not that much of a snob that I need to have the DVD type. I actually like this idea better because I admit I have not researched the dvd type recorders, but I know that DVD's always seem to get scratched around my house and if my only video was on the dvd and its scratched then your stuck right? You don't have that problem with a tape. I was not thrilled with the mike in windy weather, but if I covered it a bit it was better. Anyway this is only 99 bucks at circuit city and the batteries for my 'old' one fit it so I don't need to buy anything new. If this is as good as the other camera I had its way worth 99 bucks. Go get yourself one today like I will!

This is a great little camera for the money. I would highly suggest it to anyone on a budget.


5 out of 5 stars I love it!   April 11, 2008

I love this little booger! Seriously, for the price I paid, I'm very pleased. I did my homework. I would have liked a microphone jack, an accessory shoe and AV Input but didn't want to spend over $300. Perhaps after a few months, I may upgrade to the DCR-HC96 but for now, I'm happy as a clam. I have a Toshiba laptop with a built-in 4-pin firewire port and I purchased a generic firewire cord for all of $5 including shipping. I took some short videos of my boyfriend eating breakfast and within minutes I had them uploaded to Windows Movie Maker and had a ball editing them. Fun!
