I was very pleased to find the problem mentioned in the listing that the tape door wouldnt open, was not an issue. It needed a little jiggle since a small screw is missing but thats all. It works fine as for video taping anything and all zooms etc work fine. The built in digital camera didnt work but thats ok because I bought it to use for video tasks. The price was fabulous!!!! I have this camera in the WD 250 model so I knew it was a great little camera and vey easy to use. Winning it for $20 was great , knowing this sold new for $600 or more. I will get lots of use and will give my daughter my WD250 to use.I buy most everything off ebay anymore do to the savings compared to dept store prices!!
This camcorder was a great addition to our vacations! The batteries last a long time and the filming is really clear. We bought a VHS tape that holds the mini Dv's and replay the tapes that way. You can also hook the camcorder right up to your TV. Great camera!
I have enjoyed my camcorder a great deal. I can download video and pictures directly from the camcorder to my computer. Built in speaker for on the scene playback that you can hear and see without having to hook up to anything. I have loved this camcorder from day one.
I bought it so I could tape my family and friends. I like the fact that it was very inexpensive. The only thing that I did not like was that it did not work. I will keep buying off of Ebay, even though this was not a pleasant experience.
