Summary: A great camcorder for a starter!!!!!!
Review: After a lot of questions and reading I decided to go ahead and buy this camcorder. Before getting it I was worried about how complicated it would be to operate since I have never used one. Boy was I worried over nothing!!! The moment I opened the package the only thing to do was charge the battery and start enjoying. A great product, extremely easy to use and very easy to connect to a TV. As soon as the tape finishes I`ll try and record the Hi8 to my VHS for storage. VERY PLEASED!!!!!!!!!

Summary: A good performer
Review: Before our vacation to Hawaii a few months ago, we were shopping around for a reasonably-priced camcorder to take with us. We decided to buy a Sharp Hi8 camcorder, as a compromise between the high price and good quality afforded by digital camcorders and the more reasonable price but poorer quality of the lower end analog camcorders.I have to say that we have been generally satisfied with how easily the camcorder sets up and operates and with how relatively free of white lines (snow, static etc. - whatever you want to call it) the videos that we have recorded from this camera have been. Don't get me wrong - we still see static on videos made from our Hi8 camera, just not as much as from a lower-end analog camcorder. There are some drawbacks that I have noticed in operating this camera. The LCD screen can be quite difficult to see when you are outdoors under intense sunlight conditions (such as at the beach). And of course, if you can't see the screen, you don't know what you're recording. The battery that is provided with the camcorder runs out after about 1 to 1.5 hours of continual use, which limits the camcorder's use. Overall, we are pretty satisfied with our camcorder given the price we paid. (We got ours refurbished).

Summary: First camcorder
Review: I bought this as my first camcorder a year ago, it is fun and easy to use. With in the first hour I was filming happily with great results. Just hook it up to the TV to watch on big screen and it's easy to record onto a VCR. Although adding sound on it is a little harder. The main problem I expierenced was holding steady at 16xzoom...but it works fine if I hold it against something, a railing or table top etc...Also the LCD screen is not protected and I was worried I'd damage it at first, but a year later and its still working fine after many hours hiking in the woods and riding in the skiff, so I guess it's a pretty hardy viewing screen. Also I bought a 3 hour battery, the batteries need to be completely drained to re-charge and that is a drag but...it's still wonderful and I am very happy with it! A great camcorder for the money.

Summary: great camcorder
Review: I bought this camcorder after the birth of my daughter and I never had a camcorder before. It is very easy to use, the large screen is convinient, quality of picture is great, it has many useful functions. Also it's very easy to transfer to VHS or just to connect the camera to TV/VCR and watch. The only weakness I have found so far is the battery, which runs out very fast, but it is not a problem for me since I use the camcorder mostly at home.

Review: I didn't really need this camera, It's just another toy, but it is fun. Battery life is a little short and I could use a little work w/ steadiness, but other than that this camera is great.

Summary: Capture any monent
Review: My previous camcorder broke and I waited awhile before buying a new one. I did some research and chose this camera. Its great, The best part is not having to squint into a tiny black and white hole when trying to record something. The camera offers lots of fun features that enable you to make interesting videos. A downside is it tends to be a bit bulky at times but I would rather take that over a bigger camera. And also the one touch LCD screen sometimes looks a bit dirty but only two faults after six months of great recording!
