Most dependable camera yet
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.
I have had this camera since 2001, bought it at Best Buy for around $900, mini dv's weren't around that much, had the camera believe it or not in my garage for about 4 years because of some family problems(divorce) and took it out finally, charged the battery and fired it up, son of a gun, it worked, I have a little photography business and wanted to include videography, I have successfuly shot 7 weddings with this sucker, it great, the only thin you have to watch out is the white balance (safe to keep it on manual white balance under a watchful eye) low light isn't bad always great to have some sort of an external light source. Some of the pro videographers may find this ridiculous but I needed to practice, its simple to transfer the video to PC and edit your video, nothing to it. As long as I have this baby I will work it till it goes out. Sony product do last a long time , there is no doubt about that, there customer service is probably the worst among any electronics manufacturer, its safer to buy a Sony product on ebay than a regular retail store, atleast the people on ebay will not rip you off. There are many after market accessories for this camera available at your local camera shop or even best buy, for eg. filters, l-brackets, video lights, aftermarket batteries etc etc.
Please not you will need ample light indoors, and outdoors you will need to keep an eye on the exposure settings.
