So-So camera
This is not a bad camera but I am having trouble with it not wanting to record or playback tapes.I have tried different tapes thinking maybe it was the tape but no matter what I do, it won't work.Took it to the place I got it, they had to send it away, which took forever, and all they done was use a headcleaner on it.They said they could not find out any problem with it.I brought it home and it started doing the same thing again and I bought a Maxell head cleaner and used it several times on it...

DCR-TRV230 Camcorder
This is junk. It has not worked since the day I got it. Have returned it for service three times. Has never been fixed. Sony refusesto replace the camera. If I did not have so much invested in accessories I would just throw it away and buy a Canon....
