Sony DCR-SR45 30GB Hard Drive Handycam Camcorder with 40x Optical Zoom

This is my first time that I bought a Sony Camcorder and just I can say it is great, its compact ( it is the same size of my hand ) and its working splendid...I can recommend again and again.
The only thing that I forgot to buy for my Sony DCR-SR45 was the Sony memory stick pro duo 16 GB by Usd$97.00 here in Amazon.

A nice portable camera that takes great video. Haven't had any issues as of yet.

The camcorder is easy to use and sync with the computer. Picture quality is good. Compact size is very convenient. The only complaint I have is that there is no flash.

this was a gift for my kids who are expecting babies. they love the camera.

Sony has an excellent historic record of providing absolutely pathetic after-sales-support.
So pray to god you do not have a defective piece, for if you do have one, you are done for!!
