Great Camcorder

I just got the CCD-TRV-308 camcorder and it is awesome!! The only thing is is that you cant edit your film on your computer you can just play it back. I give 4 - 4 1/2 stars

Have fun with your Handycam!

I have had this camera for about four months now and I have really enjoyed my time with it. It's an excellent choice for families or single people who can't afford more but still want a small, "handy" camcorder to capture memories on tape.

Small, great video quality, good battery life, color LCD screen rules, good zoom, NIGHTVISION

Nothing really, for the price that's why I bought it, I liked everything
