Comments about Sony Sony 240GB High Definition Hard Disk Drive Handycam Black Camcorder:

Great versatile piece of technology. I used it for both still and video shots. Stabalization works good, a lot better than most camcorders. Geotagging feature is nice but it would be great if it could transfer to a DVD. Also, heads-up if you think you can transfer 1080p on a DVD, it's not that easy! AVCHD has it's own disadvantages and not ALL s/w editing apps support it. Be sure and do you research.

Service & Delivery comments:

Awesome service! Got my camcorder the next day via UPS, right before I jumped on the plane the next day to fly to SE Asia. Make sure you're at home to accept delivery.

Picture in low light is great, in HD amazing, easy to use and 240G is plenty of space.

Downside, battery is too short.

Comments about Sony Sony 240GB High Definition Hard Disk Drive Handycam Black Camcorder:

I bought this camera to document our new baby's life. I've used it sparingly for now but hope to get more use out of it in the coming months. It seems pretty simple to operate however the GPS function as others have mentioned doesn't work very well. I like the look of the product, the amount of hard disk space and the overall quality of the camera. It's very compact but one of the drawback is that for me to transfer the content to a DVD, I need a blue ray DVD along with a BR DVD writer for my computer...nothing I didn't know but this is just something to consider when buying this product. Not an issue for someone who will only view the content on a computer or by connecting the camera to the TV.

Service & Delivery comments:

I received very good customer service and prompt delivery...the product arrived in good condition...definitely recommend Abt Electronics and will use them again.

Comments about Sony Sony 240GB High Definition Hard Disk Drive Handycam Black Camcorder:

I have used this for family gathers, baseball touranments, school plays, and soccer games. The picture quality is outstanding and the large hard drives leave plenty of room to capture all the footage without having to worry about running out of tape or space and missing great moments on camera. I'd buy this again for sure, its an investment in your family memories!

Comments about Sony Sony 240GB High Definition Hard Disk Drive Handycam Black Camcorder:

I've owned Sony video cameras for at least a decade and this latest offering is a fantastic offering. It alleviates the need to buy and carry around multiple expensive HD mini DV tapes, it allows you to take high-quality digital still shots, and it turns on and is ready for operation in a flash. I bought the camera for a family trip to DisneyWorld and it performed like a champ. We now have hours and hours of family memories in full HD video, along with 600 photos that came out beautifully.

Service & Delivery comments:

Unfortunately we had a hiccup in the performance of UPS - they somehow misplaced the package on their truck. We ended up getting the camera delivered a day later than planned, but all turned out OK. We were very happy with Abt's performance.
