Portability rocks!
| I've owned an unit for 4 months now, and it's everything I expected it to be, plus a little bit more. |

Some caveats
| Video nuts may not like the artifacts that this unit produces. If you are outputing to VHS tapes, it won't matter, but if you are into capturing the highest fidelity possible for future generations, or for display on a large flatscreen TV, you should try this out in the store before buying. Just play the output hooked up to a large flatscreen. Now compare to another camcorder you are considering. I'll bet the DCRIP1 comes up short, but it is a judgement call if it is significant enough. The camera I use for family shots is a Triple CD Sony TRV950- and it produces near HDTV like quality, far outstripping the DCRIP1. |

Not compatible with iMovie
| If you use iMovie your forced to use analog input. Why? Sony won't release the compression scheme to developers. |
