Summary: Love this camera/camcorder!
Review: We just had our first baby, and couldn't do without this camcorder/digital camera. It's very easy to use, and takes great quality video and still digital photos. A plus is that, if needed, you can record still photos from the video you shoot. This came in very handy when the photo lab ruined all our film from our baby's first few days in the hospital. We were crushed, then realized we could print some that we copied from the video. Not the finest quality still photos without a flash and copied from video, but we were very happy to have them. Easy to connect to view videos on TV, dub VHS tapes for relatives, and transfer still photos to computer to email to family. It's also small enough to fit in a purse when traveling.

Summary: Great for the price. Could do with a few more features
Review: Great camera for the price. Picture quality is excellent. A few missing things:
1. The older models used to have a strap on the side to hold hte camera up with. Not anymore. I wonder why. Used to make life so much easier
2. Still image resolution very poor. Alas, that is true of most budget camcorders.
3. Could use an input for an external microphone. Although the built-in mic is pretty decent, sometimes it helps to attach an external micBattery life is comparable to products in this price range. No big gripes.

Summary: GREAT PRODUCT THAT IS VALUE PRICED!!
Review: I SEARCHED HIGH AND LOW FOR A MINI/DIGITAL CAMCORDER AT A REASONABLE PRICE AND FINALLY SETTLED ON THE SHARP VLNZ100U THAT AMAZON.COM HAD FOR $... PLUS A SHARP $... REBATE WHICH I JUST RECEIVED. YOU CAN'T FIND A SIMILAR CAMCORDER WITH THESE FEATURES AT THIS PRICE. IT IS MUCH MORE THAN I EXPECTED AND LOVE USING IT. IT IS EASY TO USE AND I'M BEEN DOWNLOADING THE STILL PICTURES I'VE TAKEN ONTO MY COMPUTER AND MY BROTHER IN FLA HAS RECEIVED WITH GREAT QUALITY. THIS MUTI-PURPOSE CAMERA IS EVERTHING I HOPED IT WOULD BE. GREAT VALUE, QUALITY AND PRICE.

Summary: Digital MiniDV for the price of 8mm
Review: With the price after rebates of this Sharp camcorder there are absolutely no other digital choices available! I Had the NZ50 (which I sold in order to buy this NZ100), and the quality, versatility, features and connectivity of this camera is awsome. For the price, upgrading from NZ50 to the NZ100 which has digital still store capabilities, analog inputs and USB streaming, is worth the difference (which last year did not) I already have a digital camera, so I really do not use the still pictures capability, but is nice to have when you do not want to carry many devices when you are attending an event or vacations. Two batteries are required when you travel and are accustomed to use a lot the camera, and no power plugs are available. I normally shoot key moments on every event, in order to avoid editing at maximum, so second battery was needed once, in a in a 6-hr event, which has happened only once. 180 degrees of rotation is a very nice feature. Although it does not have a viewfinder, it really does not matter, because I would never use one if I have a 3" LCD screen. I really recommend this camcorder for its beauty, portability, quality and price.

Summary: OK camcorder for the price I paid
Review: Got this toy [for] only about $$$ after MIR, it's almost the [most inexpensive] mini-DV camcorder you can find.
The thing I like about it is, it's size and weight. It's much smaller than other camcorder and it's light. LCD size is large though not good. The video quanlity I think it's just ok, can't say great, but I was using the movie maker, I'll give a try on Adobe Premiere since some people said the quanlity is much better if using Adobe premiere. However there is totally no problem to transfer files between camcorder and PC if you have IEEE1394 card and cable. BR>The things I don't like about the camcorder is, the LCD quanlity is not good though it's large. Since there is no viewfinder, if you are using under the sun, you may hard to see on the LCD. The battery life is not very long, I only captured 25mins before I use up the battery.
OK, that's my feeling about the camcorder, keep in mind it's low low price, so I still think it's a good buy, well worth the money you spent.

Summary: Outstading Camcorder
Review: I've had this camera for almost a year now and have had no problems with it. The size is great and it is small enough to fit in most digital camera belt carry cases. To be able to carry this thing around on your belt without it getting in the way and walk around an amusement part is wonderful. It's almost like carrying around a regular camera! (Just make sure you get a good case to protect it well because afterall a camcorder is more sensitive than a regular camera.) I've taken it on everything from a ride on a sailboat to formal dinners on the belt clip just under my dinner jacket without it getting in the way. The video it takes is really very nice for this price point and shoots remarkably well in the dark even though it does not come with a flashlight. The still pictures it takes are fine for taking low resolution pictures and casual use but this camcorder is really not meant to replace a good digital camera. The form factor and holding of the camera may take some getting used to compared to most traditional camcorders but once you get used to it this is not a problem. I've been able to take video while holding on to the side of a moving trolley with this camera. Problems with downloading video to the PC with firewire may be due to an old computer or other firewire card incompatibilities which has nothing to do with the camera. The build quality and LCD display all look outstanding to me. For taking video of the family and for vacations this is a great camcorder that I look forward to using on many more outings. I hope this review has been helpful to you.

Summary: Love it!
Review: This camcorder records beautiful quality videos. The price is right and the size is perfect. Even when you move around quickly, the picture doesn't distort. The zoom is unbelievable. Buy it.

Summary: Great digicam
Review: I don't know what the previous reviewer's problem is, but I've been able to stream directly off of the camera to a PC though the firewire interface using Windows XP Moviemaker.

Summary: Breaks after the labor warranty expires!
Review: This is a good camera when it works. Mine stopped working 98 days after purchasing it (8 days after the labor warranty expired). The parts were paid for, but I still had to pay...labor charges to have it fixed. Customer support was absolutely NO help! This will probably be the last SHARP product that I buy!

Summary: [not good]
Review: The quality is very poor. I was all hyper thinking that I got myself a miniDV cam and was recording a function. When I compared my tape Vs. a sony Hi-8 tape I saw the difference. The color, resulation all poor. The LCD does not have a cover, I am sure there will be scratched on it in a few month. My expectation was to do streaming directly, but NO, it doesnt have the streaming capability. You have to buy a capture device on the computer to do it.
I will probably give mine away to some one back home. The still pic quality is also very poor, specially at night or in darker room. If you want a camera to record some memorable moments, this is not for that.
