Summary: Pleased with Sharp VLNZ150U Camcorder
Review: I really like the compact size of the camcorder. I can take any anywhere as I do a lot of hiking. It takes less room than my regular camera.The quality of the video is very good.Easy to use.Sound quality is good.The digital camera quality is not so high.Good enough for downloading into computer but probably not for printing high quality photos.I've taken many digital photos and accept the lower definition.I have to use other camera for high definition.For it's size and price,it is a good buy.After 7 weeks, I have not received my rebate.

Summary: does not last
Review: I bought this camera after seeing the reviews on amazon.com, in particular that it was durable. I enjoyed doing videos with it. But very soon after the warranty expired, the video stopped working. It still worked as a VCR, but not as a camera. When I sent it for repair at one of the Sharp partners, the bill to repair would have been higher than the cost of the camera!!! So be aware that this is not in fact a durable camera, and Sharp USA did nothing to help the confidence of this ex-customer.

Summary: Great multi-purpose camera
Review: My fiancee and I were getting married in a week. I wanted to purchase a digital camera for the wedding. We looked at several models and decided on this one. Why? Because while the still resolution is not stellar, 640x720 or so, the video recording is top notch. And the use of both SD media cards and Mini-DV tapes is a great idea. Transferring the pictures to your PC is a breeze and all of the camera's controls are logically laid out and intuitive to use. If you don't need great still picture resolution, after all I still have a 35mm SLR for the serious stuff, and are looking for a good quality digital camcorder, don't pass this one up!

Summary: Great paperweight...
Review: Honestly, if you are buying this item get the extended warranty if available...you could very well need it. I had it for barely a year and it worked great no complaints at all till it just quit working all together. Now it makes a great paperweight. The unit will not power up at all. Bear in mind that my unit has never been mishandled or mistreated. I have also done research on the web and have found similar reviews elsewhere. I am still trying to get Sharp to help me replace or repair it. I'd love to be able to write a retraction in the coming days that Sharp has stepped up and done the right thing. Till then...Stay tuned and best of luck.

Summary: Get the extended warranty
Review: I have had this camera for just under a year. I bought the warranty. One day it just stopped working. Wouldn't turn on. I brought it to a repair center. It was sent back to SHARP and given all new internal parts. I don't plan to keep it, but the warranty saved me from having a very expensive paper weight.

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.
