Summary: Easy to use... easy to need repair
Review: I had this camera for little over a 1.5 yrs. It need repairs FIVE TIMES! The last three times it was sent in, the problem wasn't fixed so Sears let me trade for a newer version, VL-AH151U, free of charge. I didn't even need a warranty. GOD BLESS SEARS!

Summary: I can not let you buy this camera in good conscious!!!!
Review: I hope this review reached you before you bought the lamest digital camera on the market. My wife and I have used this camera for a total of 10 hrs over 2 years. It does not work at all after this limited use. It is a useless paper weight. A larger red X appears on the screen when we put a tape in and try to record. The cost of repairs is estimated at $200. Doesn't the camera cost $200????

If I have not been able to reach you prior to your purchase of the Sharp paper weight then save your self the time and trouble of contacting Sharps customer service department when (not if) their inferior product breaks ... just copy either of the two below emails and send them to yourself.

Summary: not satisfied
Review: I've owned the camera two years and it's needed repair twice. The camera must be sent off and takes about six weeks to two months for return. It is now needing repair once more ... also it is difficult to see images in bright sunlight.

Summary: All new options with the lowest price
Review: Its a very good camcorder, it has all options with the lowest price in the market. Since I leaved near a high voltage cable ligne, the picture copied from the camcorder to the VCR videotape was unstable, also if you record near any high voltage cable the picture will show instability.

Summary: Great Camera
Review: This camera overall is a great deal. I got this camera mainly for its four special effects and title writer which work quite nicely. The remote makes watching tapes extremely easy. The only downside is that the picture quality could be a little better. It's a great deal though if you want an inexpensive camera to make home videos on!
