I spent hours and hours to determine that this is the best Sony Handycam with nightshot. You can record onto dvd or internal memory. It has touchscreen for ease. It has 30mm threads for filter accessories. It has remote control. I can record in 4:3 which I like.It also has hot shoe. Awesome classic digital camera with just enough modern features. No 8mm tape needed.

A professional quality Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® lens captures sharp video, while the built-in zoom microphone with Dolby® Digital 5.1 channel recording lets you replay memories the way you experienced them.

DVD Format Video Recording The DVD recording format in MPEG2 (SD) delivers digital picture and sound quality comparable to that of MiniDV, but on DVD. Playback of these DVDs couldn't be simpler (depending upon the playback device used). After finalizing the disc in the camcorder, the disc can play back in most DVD Players (SD), computers, Blu-ray Disc™ players, and even PlayStation® 3 video game consoles. DVD-R/-RW/+RW and +R DL (Dual Layer) Compatible3 Compatibility with a variety of DVD formats3 allows the ease-of-use and simplicity found in DVD media.

Hybrid Plus Recording to DVD, Internal Flash Memory, or Memory Stick® Media Hybrid Plus recording technology delivers a new level of flexibility for transferring your video footage and digital photos from the camcorder to compatible viewing devices.

You can even select from various dubbing functions to easily copy video or still images from Memory Stick media or built in flash memory media to DVD -- without using a PC. Images recorded or transferred to DVD media can then be played directly in most DVD Players (SD), computers, Blu-ray Disc™ players, and even PlayStation® 3 video game consoles to share your memories with friends and family. Quick On Missing an important scene can be frustrating, especially if the reason is because your camcorder is turned off. With the Quick On feature, the touch of a single button places that camcorder in Sleep mode. Another push instantly wakes the camcorder, so you’ll always be ready to capture special moments. Built-in zoom microphone with 5.1 ch recording Featuring Dolby® Digital 5.1 Creator, the built-in zoom microphone focuses audio recording on your subjects in sync with the camera’s zoom lens, helping memories ring true with clear dialogue and crisp, discrete sounds. 2.7" Wide1 (16:9) HybridRead full review
I've been using this camcorder for two years now and I still love it. I usually record video to the camcorder hard drive, then copy to my computer hard drive by USB all the raw video segments that are saved in mpg format on the camcorder hard drive (does not save as mpg on DVD mini disk though). Then from my computer hard drive I use a favorite video editing program and edit/make my DVD's. I also make backup copies to a full size DVD-R of the original raw mpg files, for possible future use. The sound quality is excellent indoors, but a con is it really picks up wind noise outdoors. Shielding camcorder with a small umbrella helps. But a stick-on Windcutter cuts the wind noise in half, they can be found on eBay but use keywords like "camcorder wind noise" to find.
I think most people buy this camcorder because we can record movie&picture to 3 different method(harddrive, memory card and DVD). The camcorder is easy to use and touch screen is great, I'm almost never need a use of instruction book at all. The quality of the video is great for the standard definition camcorder(do not compare to HD camcorder). Again easy to use and if I use DVD+RW I don't need to do finalize disc at all, recorded finish you just put your dvd to dvd player to see it(except for the pc)
Great size -- fits in palm of hand -- very light and easy to use. Only used twice with basics like zoom, etc. With three ways to shoot and store video (hard drive, memory stick, DVDs), this is really great.. I'm almost never need a use of instruction book at all
i play music and it has a 5 hour internal memory so i can tape a whole night and download right to you tube and can make a DVD all so and all so can save on memory card so does about anything you want it to and the sound for taping live music is great vear clear picture and has a night light feature that work great in dark arias lose some color but picture is still clear
Make sure the battery is charged. Pick a media to record on. Point and shoot. Very easy to set up and use.
