Pros
Convenient, easy to use camera!
Cons
It's an expensive paperweight if I can't download my video.
Recommended it?
No
I like the camera fine. However, I've beaten my head against a wall for days trying to download my video. Today I even installed a brand-new firewire card and cable (which works fine for anything else). No programs recognize the attached DV camera, including WINDV, Premiere Elements, and Windows Movie maker.
Searching the Internet for solutions only found more people in the same boat. Sony "support" consists of restating "connect the cables..." then blames Windows or your video card for not having good drivers. Thanks a lot, Sony.
