Buyer Beware! Terrible blueshifted image. Worse than it's predecessors

Date of Review:  Oct 9, 2007

Sony Camcorder Nightmare

Date of Review:  Aug 20, 2007
Review: Looking for a nice compact digital camcorder than the Sony DCR-HC8 Mini is not for you. I have had mine for almost a year and I have yet to figure out all information. I have not been able to take anything off the disc nor do I know how to edit it...
