Customer Review: Great, simple camcorder
I got this item from another store but wanted to leave my review here. This is an excellent camcorder and the picture quality is excellent for what you are paying for. i use TDK dvd-rw discs which work fine and i get no pop up telling me its not a sony disc. the Zoom is fantastic and i find it so simple to use that you have to be a monkey if you find it difficult(no offense to other reviewers….LOL.

I have ordered a compatible NP-fh100 battery off ebay for ?12 inc P+P. compared to the samsung camcorder i previously had (from amazon) this is much better. Love the superplus night shot…really spooky and works surprisingly well.

you should not be disappointed if you buy this camcorder. if you have more money to spend then get the 1 mega pixel one if not then this is a winner.

knocked off a star for the naff battery they include and the lack of any discs and case..come on sony how much money do you make each year!! LOL

Customer Review: Great Camcorder!
This is an excellent camcorder and really easy to use - no need to read any manuals, just pop a disk in and start recording. Amazing optical zoom, small and light.

Not 5 stars because found touch screen a bit fiddly and doesn’t come with a free disk.

***WARNING*** If you get an accessory pack make sure the battery is one from the ‘H series’ which are the only ones compatible with the Sony 106.

I bought the Sony ACC-DVDH DVD Camcorder Starter Kit, which another reviewer recommended instead of the ACC-DVDP because it apparently came with an ‘H Series’ battery. However the battery in both of these kits are incompatible with the 106. The ‘H Series’ include: NP-FH40; NP-FH50; NP-FH70; NP-FH100.

Customer Review: Low Quality Camcorder
I bought the Camcorder from Amazon because I previously had a Hi8 Samsung camcorder, which died. The functionalities of this DV version is very basic and it is made from cheap plastic. It feels like it is going to break anytime soon. I tried it for 10mins and sent it back and I bought the DCR-HC27 sony dv camcorder from Amazon which is excellent. You get what you pay for, u decide. And it did not come with firewire cable or editing software
Customer Review: Marvel camera
I had the good fortune to buy this camera yesterday and am absolutely amazed with it, the video quality is incredible, the zoom is fantastic, and the different modes are likewise. The one problem I have with it is it doesn’t have a PC cable.
