Great surround sound recorded with wide screen format to add "real time" effect, Finalized DVD plays in PC and or DVD player. Flip forward view screen to monitor recording and remote control to eliminate walking towards camera onscreen to stop recording

You get used to using it and have to buy extra longer like battery. (worth it though- Because you start using it all the time!)

Great audio with pretty darn good video AND- Has lasted longer than any other camcorder or camera I've ever had! And still the same great quality surround sound and wide screen video recording, no failures. Sony is the Best. Also a note- the recorded mini dvds play just fine in DVD player trays (player trays and computer disc trays have the normal disc size circle and the smaller disc size circle that hold and play the mini dvds for you to watch on TV set or PC. I love it so much- I won't let anyone try to touch it or use it but me.
