 Great camcorder and very convenientFeb 08, 2010
I waited in line in thanksgiving of 2004 to get this camcorder. I have not been disappointed at all. I wanted something that would record and should be ready immediately. This camcorder does not disappoint. I got a case as well as an extra battery for this from amazon. I have never run out of battery on trips. I charge the batteries every night on trips and one battery has worked for me for the entire day. I have travelled with the camcorder overseas and within the us and all the videos are stunning. I always buy sony discs from BJ's. There is one disc that has gone corrupt while recording but I did not have much on it. It went bad before any recording was done on it making me feel that the dvd was corrupt to begin with. Its been 5 years now and still use it a lot to video shoot memories around the birth of my kids. Highly recommend this camcorder who do not have time to spend to create a dvd from the conventional camcorders.

I love this camcorderJan 13, 2006
I bought this last year with extended warranty as I have kids at home. I bet they tried their best to damage the camcorder but with no luck. That's about robustness.
It's big screen is a great feature I don't find this in latest 403. I have tried many brand of DVD's and have not experienced ANY problem with recording or playing back.
Things I like about latest 403 is, it has got 3MP still photography, a flash and a shoe to fit light. Otherwise 301 camcorder is very good espcially with marked down price. I feel like buying one more after gifting mine to my dad (against my will !! He loved it so much and he asked me first time for something and I coudn't say no).
I have seen 403 and if price and size (of LCD) dosen't matter, I recommend buying it. Otherwise 301 is the best.
I have also heared lot of guys complaining about the editing software that ships with this camcorder. Honestly for starters, it's better than pinnacle or other high tech softwares because it's easy to learn and is targeted for entire range of users.
Net net, this is a good deal. And if you got few extra bucks, go for 403.

For those looking to buy the cheapest dvd-r.....Sep 12, 2005
Don't get Memorex dvd-r! I know people buy Memorex for its price. It well known Memorex doesn't work well with any burners. Go with Sony, Verbatim, Fuji, or TDK even though you pay a bit more.

 Too many error messagesSep 11, 2005
I use this camera for training purposes. I need every recording to come out perfectly so that I amy critique the participants. The camera does everything it says it will do but it does not read discs well. Last week, of 3 participants in the room, the recordings failed twice. Bah, humbug Sony! I can't afford to lose a recording when my clients are paying for the training.
I'm looking for another camera.
