A Little Gem!
In my search for a new family video camera the first thing that came to mind was what would it take for me to actually use it instead of it sitting in a bag in the closet? The biggest reason I never used my last Sony (Digital 8) video camera was it's size! It was just too bulky to take anywhere on... Read full review »
ip5 fragile sony step child
I bought the ip5 with some disposable income, had a new child i wanted to capture in a nicer format than the 8mm i was using. One thing i didnt gather from the "expert" at best buy or the box was that it uses a sony proprietary format, only useable in windows with their software. sony didnt produce... Read full review »
Why Sony? Why?
This camcorder has a tragic flaw: MicroMV. Since I've had this camcorder I've pulled my hair out hunting down ways to get standard video editing programs to recognize the video format that this camcorder uses. I've tried everything from XMuxer to Pinnacle Studio 8 with varied results, but still I... Read full review »

Ultimate Vacation Camcorder
What makes a perfect vacation camcorder, one that you can EASILY take with you EVERYWHERE. This camcorder fits the bill. It is worth it to pay the extra price for the size because once you use it, there will be times when you look back on your vacation and acknowledge that you would not have been... Read full review »

The included software repeatedly crashes on my high-end computer, as does Pinnacle Studio. As I write this I am checking out my new Panasonic 953, which I... Read full review »
IT'S THE WORST INVESTMENT
This is a very expensive camcorder, and has nothing to do with others. Doesn't have nightshot, memory stick and other functions of an average camcorder. Only you are paying the "micro mv" format and the inneficiency of SONY.
Advice: Better buy a JVC Camcorder.

Do not buy if you plan on using on a Mac!
I bought this camera after a fair amount of research, but failed to uncover the tidbit that it is TOTALLY incompatable with iMovie/Mac, as well as ANY OTHER editing software on any platform. You can ONLY edit using the included 'Movie Shaker" software (for Windows only). I have heard only bad... Read full review »
