Summary: Simply Irresistable
Review: From the moment I opened the box, it just took my breath away. Because this is the first digital camera that I bought above my price usual range, however, it is worth every penny. It is above my expectation. Sony finally has done a good job in putting so many features in this tiny machine. The only drawback is that I would reccomend everybody who would buy this camera is to buy larger memory stick (4k is just not enough to take your baby's pictures)

Summary: Great for the new baby!!
Review: I bought this digital video camera just two weeks before the birth of my first child in Korea. It has been great for recording video to send via E-mail to my parents and friends in Canada. It is really slick and easy to use. (Also note that my manual is in Korean (as I bought the DVC in Korea) and I just played around with it to figure it out...of course I know I am still missing some uses of the camera, but I think those are for the more professional videographer anyways.) I have used the photos to also make a homepage of my child's pictures for easing viewing by people that are thousands of miles away. I would like to include the URL, but am not allowed in this review. You really need to see the results! Some of my friends are also now considering buying this camera. I am so happy I bought this...I know it is a little pricey, but except that I think it is really worth it. I would recommend buying a larger memory stick though...the 4k one it comes with isn't enough for a lot of use. I found myself frequently downloading the files to my computer (which is so easy to do by the way). I am looking at getting at least a 64k memory stick. The only downside to this camera was the high price, but I feel I will get enough use out of it to be worth it.

Summary: A Nice Powerful Toy
Review: I got this camera for a graduation present from my parrents. It is great. The power in the small size is the best. I got this product because of the still picture feature. The pictures it can make are very nice. The tape feature runs like a normal camcorder and so does the in camera vcr feature.Some of the things to think about when buy this is, if you are planing on make digital movies on your computer you needd to go out and buy another part for your pc. It is called a video capature card. I bought one this is called a firewire or iEEE.... And if you want to open the box and start shooting film that is not going to happen. You have to go out and buy the tapes as wel,... One of the new features on the pc110 is mgep movies on the memory stick. That is true but theere are downsides. The stick that it comes with can only hold 17 seconds not much, and a 64mb stick will cost you.... Now don't get me wrong this is a great product, there are many digital features for filming that are great. I do not regret asking for the camera it is the best.

Summary: Great camera if you upgrade...
Review: I have had the PC110 over a year now and still like it very much. The size is perfect for traveling and is easy to take on hikes, etc. The DV quality is very good and the still shots are good if you shoot at high resolution and keep the pictures small when viewing on a computer. The camera has a good zoom, but close up pictures require the extra wide angle converter. I can take a picture of my house without it and get maybe 1/2 of the house. Standing in the same spot with the wide angle lens, I can get it all. You really need this accessory if taking pics or video of close up groups and things where you want to get a wider view. There are many good features: nightshot/super nightshot lets you take pictures in TOTAL darkness. Clarity is not that great and of course the picture is green like in the movies where a soldier is looking thru night vision. Special effects like B/W, sepia, fader, etc is nice if you are not using video editing software and want a few neat effects on the finished product. The PC110 does have a digital converter built in so you can plug a VCR into the camcorder and the analog signal is converted to digital and you can output that to a computer via firewire IE1394. A stand alone converter is about..P>The factory battery is ok, but I bought the larger one for an extra ... and can get 5hrs on it. We toured the Grand Canyon and I shot all day and still had a little juice left. I also purchased a 128M card for stills and can get several hundred pictures on it in a higher resolution. I also purchased extra, the wireless link where you plug the wireless receiver into a tv/vcr via RCA connectors and the camera sends a wireless signal to the receiver and you can watch your video and pictures instantly on tv. Very nice accessory. The camera is very nice if you upgrade to the better accessories.

Summary: Nice HandyCam
Review: I have had this camcorder for 6 months now, and its worked like a charm. Very good picture quality, easy to use once you get the hang of it, very light weight. A Sony camcorder is definitely the best value for money. The camcorder battery runs out in around 90 minutes, but I have not yet run into a problem with that. You just get a 4MB memory stick with the camcorder. I had to upgrade to a 128MB memory stick, since I take a lot of still pictures. The photos when printed at 4 X 6 come out very well. Very easy to transfer the still pictures (and 60 second clips which is also recorded onto the memory stick) if your computer has a USB port. I did not face any problems accessing the camcorder buttons as mentioned by some of the reviewers.

Summary: Nice, but could be better
Review: I have no complaints except one: the digital pictures it takes are print quality but, the pixel could be greater for the amount of money you're paying for this. Since Sony has such advanced technologies, the least it could do was to incorporate their superior technology towards the digital picture function. More megapixels would've been better. Afterall, Sony does make good digital cameras, why didn't they combine the great features?

Summary: A perfect home DV choice and worth the money
Review: I love this camera. The hard-earned cash I bought it with was very well spent. During a week of painstaking research I happened upon this DV-camera. I had set a budget of $700 and of course the PC110 is quite a bit over this price. I felt I wanted a camera that would last well, and would deliver excellent picture quality so I splurged and hoped for the best. What I got was better than I expected. The video quality is superb. The LCD is bright and clear. The unit is very compact, and well-designed as I expected with Sony. Using device-control and a firewire card, I can import, edit, preview and save video back to the tape in the camera. Bags o fun, and be warned if you aspire to do it, a major time commitment and steep learning curve. As a digital still camera, it is not on par with a good prosumer model, but I find it useful to incorporate stills into video where the still is taken at around the same time as the video. The 10x optical zoom and good lens makes this a great still camera for snapshot close-ups. It has a pretty decent flash, and the big rechargeable battery allows for lots and lots of stills. USB performance is rapid. After a month of using it, I would thoroughly recommend the PC110 to the hobbyist videographer. PROS: It's best features are its incredibly compact form-factor, fantastic lens, menu jog-dial controller and every control you could possibly want (gadgeteers rejoice). I think you can have up to eight different cables attached to it at once. The battery supplied ("smart Lithium" rechargeable) is acceptable, but an extra would be welcome. CONS: I received a 4-MB memory stick with the camera. This gives you room for 3 15-second MPEG videos or 6-8 stills. It is a waste of time really -- I've assigned it to my Clié. You need at least a 32-MB memory stick, and preferably a few of them. The camera makes MPEG video clips which are cool, but will only allow 15-seconds worth at the highest quality setting. No case came with the camera either. Once you see the quality you get with DV, I'll wager you'll never go back to analog.
