+ Small.

- Picture not as good as my 15 year old analogue. No viewfinder. Software awkward to use.

+ Size, weight

- Close images are not wide enough.

+ it's brilliant - at the moment anyway - I've not used it much yet.

- I've found nothing bad about my camcorder

+ Just used it for a fortnight's holiday and haven't read the instructions yet - so it must be easy to use. Battery life is well over an hour, so didn't buy a spare, just recharged overnight. Night-time mode is excellent - have great shots of the kids in the disco.

- Like everything else - screen difficult to see in sunlight.

+ The 40x optical zoom is excellent The 40gb hard disc last for over 20 hours Easy to use

- The battery doesn't last very long - 2 hours max (you need to buy a 2nd one and keep it charged up) Picture can be shakey with zoom fully deployed ( you need the tripod !)

+ The price of the package which included the camera, bag and stand was extremely reasonably priced, arrived promptly and is extremely easy to use, this is my first video camera. The hard drive storage is fantastic and its good to have the option of a removable storage card too.

- Short battery life, sometimes takes a moment to focus, not great white balance

+ quick start up, excellent focus, huge recording capacity and easy to play back through computer.

- no view finder.

+ easy to use,lightweight

- battery life not long enough,spare battery expensive

+ My friend recommended his to me and I was hooked straight away! Its easy use, and being light weight is excellent and the quality of picture and film is better than I've seen before.

- No bad points as yet.

+ light weight and easy to carry, ease of operating

- battery life, photo image quality

+ the camcorder is very compact and light.it takes a while to get use to the onscreen menus,but no different to any other hi tech gadget.

- battery life not very good. only bad point i have found so far..

+ An awesome piece of equipment, light and easy to handle, with amazing picture quality. I took it on holiday and made a fantastic video of all my memories!! Would thoroughly recommend to anyone who hasn't used one of these before, the SONY SR36E HDD Camcorder is so easy to use, and is the best thing i have purchased for a long while.

+ All in all a great buy at great price.

- Supplied battery could be of big size to last longer on days out.
