Amazon.com Product Description
Whether you're planning to shoot the next independent film hit or simply record your vacation, RCA's CC9370 AutoShot compact digital camcorder has the quality and features to make your movies look their best. A 680,000-pixel CCD delivers outstanding resolution, and with the swiveling 3-inch color LCD monitor, the camcorder can be operated from any angle. A 10x optical/250x digital zoom lens brings distant scenes closer, and the built-in image stabilization helps to keep the shakes out of your recording. In addition to the camcorder features, the RCA can also function as a digital still camera. The still images are stored on the digital videotape and can be downloaded onto your PC via the provided serial cable. The 640 x 480 image resolution, though low by current digital camera standards, is perfect for photos you'll be e-mailing or posting on the Web. To keep your videos lively, the camcorder offers a large selection of digital effects and scene transitions. Exercise your creativity with effects like classic film, strobe, slow shutter, black and white, and many more. A random-assemble editing feature provides an eight-scene memory for favorite scenes as well as the ability to add special effects. The camera also includes playback zoom for enhanced viewing. Like most digital camcorders, the RCA includes an IEEE 1394 port and cable for communication with computers and editing devices. In addition, the camera connects to TVs via standard analog AV connectors or S-video connectors.

 service port? August 5, 2005
I just purchased this camcorder and so far am pleased. There is a port on it called a service port which is labeled in the manual but does any body know the purpose of this port and what connects it to what?
CC9370 same as CC9360 January 29, 2005

FYI, the two cameras the RCA 9360 and RCA 9370 are the same, only the 9370 comes with a battery charger (A cost saving idea). Causes some grief because with the 9360, you actually use the camera as a battery charger. Not really obvious. It is also important to remove the battery if you are not using the camera (you can charge the battery and forget to remove it, and it will be dead when you need it). Recommend buying a battery charger for the 9360.
I really like the camera. It has a lot of abilities. I use Pinnacle studio, and it works great. Had a problem with Ulead, it doesn't seem to work - The camera doesn't connect. Once the Pinnacle downloaded the movie, it was simply amazing. Of course, then you are in another world of editing. Wow. Then, you get to buy a bigger hard drive and DVDs, etc, etc. Expensive, but totally wonderful.
I also got a Panasonic digital video camera at the same time - It is really wonderful, too, but has no video light. The RCA requires you to then figure out how to work on a movie with a video light, but with the Panasonic, you need to stop.
The manual for the CC9370 can be used for the CC9360, and the 9370 manual is available on Amazon at:

Thanks Amazon...
Do a google search for the 9370 or 9360 by searching "rca cc9370 manual", to find batteries, the manual, and accessories.
I think it is great.
Using the firewire with the RCA camcorder was a learning experience also. If I remember correctly, there was a $50 firewire cable available, but then I found a firewire card at FRYs in Anaheim with a free cable for $20 on sale. Using the cheapo cable, I was able to do my movies. What fun. Was using my HP laptop with no built-in firewire, but with a firewire card stuck into it. Then USB 2 came around, and ruined it for the firewire guys, but the camera has a firewire port anyhow, so use it. Gotta get with it, guys, you don't want to get lost. Buy, buy, buy.
Anyhow, just want to say that the RCA camera is really a great unit, and I have had a lot of fun with it.
Great value and Features July 23, 2004
I picked this camcorder up for a song. I've had it 3 years now and it still has not given me any problems. It is solid for the light use I give it without sacrificing quality.
I have yet to be disappointed by anything other than the still photo function. No built in memory makes for a weird playback sensation as a still shot stops the video and then fades from a still shot to the moving video again. My recommendation is to use this as a dedicated video camera and buy a good still camera.
All in all, this camera has been a good buy. I have used it in the Caribbean, Europe, Canada and across the USA with none of the pesky dew problems panasonic has or the mechanism problems of the jvc.
 Make sure there is a battery December 14, 2003

I just got one of these camcorders off of this same site. When I got the camera there was no battery pack and or charger. its been about six months and I still cant find one anywhere not even on this site. Ive wasted about a hundred dollers on differnt chargers that dont even work. now the camera sits in my room with no use to it because I cant find a battery. also its to late to return it so now im stuck...... ...............THANKS TO WHO EVER I BOUGHT THIS FROM
 Worked great for a while July 14, 2003
I purchased this camera in July 2001 and generally it has worked very well. It took great movies and I had no trouble connecting it to my firewire card to download movies. However, since we purchased it we received intermittant e04 errors that we could not always correct by resetting the camera. The RCA website is no help, in fact it will not even allow you to register a camcorder as a product! Overall the it did take great movies, however I have been very dissatisfied with the camera's reliability and with RCA's support of it.
