 Don't buy this camcorder!!!! Nov 29, 2008
I had a similar experience with my Sony HC21. After less than two years the CCD failed and all I have is a a black to dark grey image. Sony refuses to accept responsibility for this flaw in their CCD. Do not buy this camcorder. My next camcorder will not be a Sony.

Horrible Camcorder Oct 01, 2007
I used this camera a handful of times, I noticed that the lcd and viewfinder was black. I was able to hear audio but no video. I did some research and found out Sony had a lawsuit against them regarding the CCD on some of their cameras. Well they refused to fix the DCR HC21 because it was not on their list but the problem was exactly the same. I will never buy another Sony product again.

Sony's focus on repair revenue? Aug 05, 2007
This is the first Sony product I've ever bought - paid $400 and a year later paid $310 to fix dead firewire port that only successfully completed one video transfer from camera to computer. It took them 3 months to fix it. How can I possibly buy another Sony?

No external mike port????? May 12, 2007
I bought this camera a year ago for general family use. For that purpose, this camera is fine (a wider angle lens would have been nice). Its color capture is great, it's ergonomic, light weight, everything a camcorder should be--with one major exception.
No EXTERNAL MICROPHONE PORT!!!
Big deal. So what? The built in mike is mediocre at best. If you need to isolate a set of sounds or voices (say, recording a small group conversation, or interviewing someone in public), you're screwed--because this camcorder lacks the one feature included on most camcorders since the invention of camcorders--an external microphone port. Instead, they include a LANC port (not for microphones) that you can use to sync together multiple Sony camcorders. Most people I've talked to (including the store that sold me the camcorder) have no idea what a LANC port is nor what it does.
A microphone port would have made this camcorder functionally complete. Sony engineers included one on all of the other DCR-HC series--why not this one?
Dirty pool, Sony. Dirty pool indeed.
