Where's The Remote??? Nighshot???

Design Flaw

 

"This camcorder would be perfect except Sony designers did not think to include the convenience of the remote commander device. It allows the user to operate the camcorder from a distance. It's included with other Sony camcorders, why not this model? 9...

Great Camcoder for your unforgetable memories
