My wife and I purchased this camera for the upcoming birth of our first child and have been nothing but pleased with it. Although not the most expensive camera on the market I have found it to be very sutiable for family engagments, indoor and outdoor events. Setup and easy of use has been a big plus (even my wife who is technologically inept has been able to jump right in and use it effectively). I did purchase an extra battery which was a smart move, battery life has been good, but hey you never know. I also purchased Sony's Movie Studio 7 to put my video's together and to music. The software and hardware has worked seemlessly so far. I recommend using the firewire connection for transfer between the camera and computer, it's very fast and effective. Overall we have been very happy with our purchase and look forward to capturing all our future memories.

Sony DCR-HC46 MiniDV 1MP : Amazon delivered this product flawlessly. The camcorder is pretty good value ($399)and delivers very good images for the resolution which is, for me, fine despite the 3-4MPs around, and good sound (-comparable with an earlier Sony TRV 33 at double the price which lasted 4 years before failing). Build quality appears good, though much lighter than previous. The only quibble is that the eyepiece is small and only extendable; this is less comfortable than I expected and one has to peer into it... but liveable. This is Made in Japan, and not in China....Note that the battery size is different from TRV33 range models...Arrrgh!
Amazing quality and small in size January 11, 2007

I have previously owned Sony and Panasonic camcorders. I bought this one beacuse of its small size. I am impressed with the quality of Video that this camcorder can make. I have made DVD's of my vidoe recordings and people who saw the video commented with a "Woh!!!"
I am giving it 4 stars because it does not have a audio input. I wanted an audio input to record directly from a mic in case of a stage performance.
Great Camcorder for the Price November 29, 2006

I have used the camcorder for 5 days and recorded about 45min of video. No problems what so ever. I dubbed several DVD +R through the ILink cable to my Sony RG330 DVD Recorder. Out of 3 DVDs NONE have failed. One camcorder option I did change is the Audio Quality, the default is 12bit and I changed it to 16bit. Zoom is great, but the digital zoom you really need a tripod. Great Picture, I love the 16:9 widescreen. For the price I am very satisfied with the DCR-HC46.
