(4 out of 5)sharp minidv
Just got my sharp minidv and is a beauty, very simple to use, did not have to look at the manual at all, menu's are very clear and logical,is light and small, just a little bigger than my fuji digital camera, video recordings are excellent and sound is very good to excellent, depending on what mode you choose.
IMHO a very good buy, I'd like to have a screen protector and I think the smart media card should be included.
(3 out of 5)Get a warranty with Sharp camcorders
This one, and others break. They break without warning, and you are out 500 to 800 dollars.
Buy the camcorder from a store that is authorized by Mack Video (they do all camera, and video repair)
You can get a 4 year video warranty for about $50 and it's a good warranty.
(3 out of 5)Worked 1 week fine
I liked the size and the quality of pictures. The digital pictures were good also. The problem is getting the pictures to play back. Seems the clogged head syndrome appeared. The picture was distorted and now after 1 month, I have to return the camera for repairs. For the cost of this camera, one would expect to use it more than once every month. I think the price of this camera should reflect that of one that has a manufacturers rebuild. Recent research shows we will be waiting for parts to get it fixed.
