Hai,

Doing some analysis to buy a Handycam.

Two Sony Models look good @ 16 K in the grey market, with bill its 4-5 K more. The dealer is reliable, he says due to the holiday seasons he sells about 4-5 pieces EVERYDAY. He also says not to touch the Hard Disk ones, lots of complaints coming up probably because the Laser head is taking shocks on rough handling. Laser is acutally designed to "disangage" when sensing a drop or a shock, obviously its not happening.

DVD 610 and 710 usus a 8 m DVD rewritable disk, only you have to finalize the Shoot and then transfer to the laptop. Holds 1 hr of video, the disk, I think is about 1.4 gigs. It has a USB out & stabilizer (electronic). 610 has a .8 mm ccd and the 710 a 1.6 and hence costlier by 4-5 K. Also 610 is the fastest moving, has 40 X optical vs. 25 X on the 710.

Any suggestions or user experiences?
