I still like the design, even with the problems....here's why:
I have been doing lots of amateur photography and occasionally have a need for all kinds of angles. The design of this camera allows you to set it on the floor and have a stable picture. That one quailty has endeared me to this model. Earlier models had the flaws of only being able to sense the remote control from front or back, and the battery did not recharge internally. This model allows remote control whether you are in front of or behind the camera for start/stop and adjusting wide/narrow focus. The only knocks I have on this camera are the lack of a light, for poor lighting, and durability (repair) issues. I have gone through two of these models, but will always try to own at least one, as long as I can find them...even though I also have other more advanced cameras with independent light sources and low maintenace/repair issues.

| I purchased this camera close to 2 years ago. I thought I was going to love it. It was easy to use and had numerous special effects. That was before the first breakdown, less than 3 months after purchase. Since then , it has been in and out of the shop for a total of 4 times. Under the Sharp warranty, they kept the camcorder an average of 2 months each time. I have missed having many family events put on tape because of this camera. My advice, DON"T BUY IT. If you do, however, an extended warranty is a neccesity with this camera. |
