Advantages: Quality, Price

Disadvantages: No Tape, No case, Short Battery Life

This is a superb camera at a reasonable price, however it is no longer shown on the Sony UK website. This probably means that it has been superseded.
The picture quality is excellent and the software (Pixella) supplied with the camera is very useful, provided you have a reasonably fast PC, or Mac, with a large hard disk.
The only minor complaints I have are:-
The camera does not come with a case, or more importantly a tape. In my case I managed to persuade the salesman to throw in a tape as part of the deal.
It always pays to bargain.
The software takes some getting used to, but once you've mastered it you'll have great fun.

As with most consumer technology, models are changed regularly (mostly marginally, but its good for marketing purposes), however, in fact this model is back on the @ www.sony.co.uk, with just an E at the end of the model number.

Having scoured the net for reviews, in particular www.whatcamcorder.co.uk, this model is particularly favoured at entry level users and if you're looking at a Christmas present for 2002, www.comet co.uk is offering a web price with free delivery for £299.00 - wow! (so I think a case and tape are the least of our worries now)... so go get it, its a Sony and its good.
