The fantastic digital quality that comes automatically with Sony's camcorders is backed up by user-friendly features that make it a joy to operate and express yourself with. The manual focus and exposure modes, along with the Digital and Picture effects, let you decide how you want the shoot and the Touch Panel control couldn't be easier to use.

If I'd known the limitation of the PC2 I'd definitely gone for the PC3. Besides the memory stick option of the PC3, the PC2 and PC3 are identical.
