"I'm very impressed with the features of the camcorder thus far. Recording to the hard drive is the single best option in my opinion. I no longer need to look for a memory stick or back to the day of CD/DVD's or even stone age cassettes. Sony has really simplified shooting your own personal home movie...." Read Full Review »

Worst purchase for the money

"I was completely unsatisfied with the video quality and the still images looked like they were taken with a cell phone. I have an older sony mini-dvd camera that took comparable video to this one. A friend of mine has the XR500 camera and it absolutely blows this out of the water. I dont feel 2 cameras next to each other in price should be so vastly different. I returned it after 2 days and bought the Canon HFS..." Read Full Review »

"It's my first time purchasing any product from JR. I have no complain about the order nor for the product.

This Sony HDR-XR200V is just absolutely best HD camcorder at afprdable price. I have used JVC & CANNON but this is the top of the line. The GPS function is just mind blowing.

Must buy...!!! "
