Stop Shopping - This is it! 
I took several months to research cameras and finally thought I would settle on this camera. I was wrong - I didn't settle, I totally satisfied my desire for a video camera.
Pro's: Compact design / easy to use / works great in low-light / works great inside or outside / effective zoom / the fire-wire connection works seamlessly with iMac and iMovie / provides great sound / clear video - even on my 720p TV / lots of options like still photo, time lapse, and other video editing effects
Con's: Too small if you have large hands or poor coordination / may take a couple of extra steps to get it to work on a PC / still pic's are less than great quality / need the base to transfer video with fire-wire
Would I recommend this product to others? Not if I wanted my video to look better than theirs. ;-)
Very easy to use
This camera is very easy to use, is lightweight and so far has had great battery life. I've had no trouble capturing my video using the i-link to USB cable as that's the only port available on my laptop. For me it's been great value for the price.
Sony DCR-HC48 1MP MiniDV Handycam Camcorder
This video camera is smaller than my digital camera. It's easy to use and the only real problem I've had so far is learning to tape with one hand. It takes pictures in darkness beautifully. I've had fun playing with all of the bells and whistles. This is the first video camera I've purchased since buying a huge Panasonic camera in 1987. Lots of changes since then.
Great value
This is a wonderful little camera. The night vision works great and it records just fine in very little light. I would definitely recommend this camera. You may need to buy accessories like the tapes and the duo memory stick if they don't come with the camera prior to being able to use it.
Great little camcorder
I got exactly what I wanted: a camcorder that carries easily under a coat or sweater and can also take still pictures suitable for snapshots. Snapshots up to 4x6 are fine but not as good as my 7 megapixel Olympus, but since I can take pictures immediately instead of waiting for the camera to start up it has worked out that 90% of my still photos are on the HC-48.
