horrible video editing options
I recorded 400 different videos from my daughter's first cry to her 1st birthday. I cannot get the recorded videos to play back from any software other than Sony's proprietary software.



Sony's tech support states to "I'm sorry for the difficulties, here is a link describing why Sony's videos won't play back on Windows Media Software"

[...]



I understand that Sony cannot support every 3rd party software, but why does Canon and Samsung and Apple product have videos that are supported by Windows Media Player? Sony support states that their videos require a special codec. What the heck do I care? All any user wants is to be able to record and edit on any PC or Mac. Well you can't do it unless you stick to Sony's software which is limited for video editing.



Don't Do It!
I returned this camera

AWFUL QUALITY!!! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!

SOUND IS AWFUL - THE PICTURE IS AWFUL -

ALSO It saves files as mpeg2 - quicktime doesnt play them

you have to buy a patch - and then it plays them with NO SOUND!!!

you have to convert them



very unhappy with this camera!!



small, quick, and easy to use
So far I really love this video camera. I use it only to take home videos of my daughter growing up and it works great for that purpose. Its super small and easy to carry around. Quick to turn on and record and the picture is clear and it has the face detection just like the sony cybershot camera.

Sony Really Shines With This Camera
After much research I am glad I settled with the Sony DCR-SR220. I was not terribly concerned with high definition and the high prices that go along with it. However, this cameras picture quality is amazing. It is so close to high definition that to the untrained eye it could be mistaken for HD. The zoom is terrific especially when set at macro zoom. The built in microphone is more than ample for most situations. The cameras low light setting is truly a technological break through. The LCD screen is crystal clear although it does get rather dirty with it's touch screen menu. Transfering both video and still pictures to my computer is seamless even though I didn't install Sony's software. The 60 GB hard drive is more than sufficiant. The only items I purchased extra for this camera is the extended life battery to match the huge hard drive and an 8 GB memory card so I could keep my video and still image files seperate. In general I am completely satisfied with this camera and all it's features.
