Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: great product for the money Comment: I have a DCRTRV280 camera that I had some trouble with, so I wanted to replace it with a refurbished model. The 260 is the immediate predecessor of the 280. The units are very similar in all ways but two. The 280 has a record and stop button (and you can focus on this screen) on the mini picture screen; for the 260 you must use two other adjustments. Both cameras (for me) give excellent pictures, even if the lighting is not perfect. I like being able to rewind a recorded scene and view it immediately. Also you can hook directly up to a TV and see it (the cords are provided for a direct link to TV). The 260 is not the easiest to use for recording and focusing, but you learn quickly if you read the manual. (That's why I only gave it three stars for ease of use.) Both units are quality Sony, but I like the refurbished for the 90 day warranty. The battery that comes with the unit will hold up for at least an hour (the amount of time for the tape length). Buying a better or extra battery is also an option, and the batteries are pretty reasonable if you check around the net. Customer Rating: Summary: BUZZING SOUND Comment: When I tried this out there was a buzzing sound that was picked up by the microphone and therefore it would not playback withou a buzzing sound. I sent it off to Sony, as you said it had a 90 day warranty for labor and a one year warranty for parts. I need a copy of your original invoice when you purchased this to send them or the cost to fix it is $269.00. Customer Rating: Summary: Sony Handycam Comment: I am happy with this camcorder. It is easy to use and the price was fair. Thank you. Customer Rating: Summary: Don't Buy a Sony product Comment: The camcorder was purchased as a Christmas present. We took it on a cruise in early January. After only a few days it gave us a moisture message and stopped working. Sony claims we dropped it in water and wants over three times what we paid for the camera to repair it. We did not drop the camera in the water, we do not have films of our vacation. We are just out our recorded memories and $300. We will never recommend a Sony product to anyone. Customer Rating: Summary: Great camcorder for the price. Comment: This camcorder is a great deal for the price. It has excellent night shot capabilities as well as a built in light that works great outdoors. It's lightweight and fits nicely in the palm of your hand. Great buy! More Reviews
