Summary: Yippee!
Review: Great for taking pictures, and shooting movies. I have also used the Mavica's and this is much better! The cards, and DV tapes are very easy to use. Up loading pictures to your computer is also a flash. Love it!

Summary: sqibble lines and noise
Review: I agree with the post from Kansas. I am on my 3rd camcorder and within minutes of taping, the lines start. The "x" comes on first which means dirty heads, but in a new camcorder with new tape?? I am using sony minidv (me) tapes. I really wish I can find one that works!! I really like the camcorder!!

Summary: Good Ideas Bad Execution
Review: I received this camera as a gift in early November to use for the holidays this year. But after returning twice I decided to go another direction. This camera seems to have a problem with noise (funny lines and shapes) on recordings. I spoke to Sharp the first time this happened, and the service person asked if I was using TDK tapes. I answered yes, and the Sharp service person told me that TDK tapes leave a residue on the heads wich cause major problems for the camera. I was only ever able to get five good minutes of recording on either of the two cameras I had.

Summary: Total Winner from Sharp
Review: This camcorder has performed wonderfully. It is much more than I expected for the money. Ease of operation, quality of the recording and most of all it's ideal size (not too small and not too big) really makes this a nice unit. I highly suggest this unit to all readers.

Summary: This camera makes me look cool!
Review: I have had this camera for one month, and it is great fun to take places. I have had lots of success shooting both video and still shots of the same event. With just 2 clicks, you can switch between mediums, and it is just plain fun! The digital photo quality that this camera produces is good, but not the best. I found it easy to upload the images to my PC. And of course, having a camcorder that is this compact is convenient and impressive to others. Compared to similar models, this Sharp camera is very affordable.

Summary: Great Camera
Review: I bought this on Amazon[.com] and had absolutely no problems. I think the camera is great quality. So far the battery has lasted me for my full outings. Memory card when in highest picture quality holds over 60 pics. Comes with the cables to hook up to your computer and your TV. Great deal for a great camera. Software for picture editing is not included.

Summary: Defective the day I bought It
Review: Bought this camera, the reviews had good things to say about it. The very first time I used it, upon playback, the video was very badly pixelated even though it was a new camera and new tape. Not a good start at all. The Photo taking aspect of the camera is decent in good light and useless in medium light. I am now waiting on my replacement tocome to me, hoping that the issues will be gone....not betting on it since my buddy has the same camera with the same problem too right out of the box....hmm?? Maybe pass on this one.....

Summary: Cool Features, But it Breaks
Review: Although I think some of the unique features that this model has, like the VCR mode, are wonderful, I have had serious problems with it. I had to return it twice in 30 days because two different things had broken on it. The first time, the speaker had been damaged, and the second time it began eating my tapes (it destroyed 3 of them). On the second return, I traded for a different brand and I am now much happier.

Summary: Easy to use...but not worth it!
Review: What appealed to me about this camcorder was that it is easy to use and comfortable to hold. Other camcorders seem to have a confusing layout and are uncomfortable to hold in one hand (my hand would hurt after awhile). Unfortunately, I didn't think about the downsides: (1) you can't really hold this camera in one hand -- you must hold it with two hands pretty much all the time. (2) the camera has no means of putting a neck strap on it -- this is EXTREMELY irritating, to say the least. It has a hand strap, which does me no good at all--I don't want to carry it that way. (3) the camera has a lens cap that does not fit without the lens hood...and guess what...I lost the lens hood. The lens cap is ridiculously cheap. (4) there is no viewfinder other than the LCD screen. The way I have found to hold it the steadiest is against my abdomen (with the LCD tilted up to my face. Unfortunately, it is hard to see the LCD in sunny conditions! Its ease of use of this camcorder still has appeal to me, but the lens cap problem is really getting to me.
