 ... sound demands, and a powerful zoom. It works with mini-dv and dvcam tapes, but I would suggest using the Sony HD brand which is suggested by Sony. This camera may be a bit confusing for those who do not have much experience, but once one reads the manual, its functions are quite straightforward.
