Was a worry!....

I bought this handicam after suffering a host of older models in the past. The 60 gb hard drive was the best seller to me, and the video is absolutely unbelievable. I think Sony could have turned out a better video program, and after using it, I gave it away and went back to ULead. One other gripe is the fact that there is no viewfinder aboard, so if you are one who likes to spot on things, forget it, or make a little viewfinder out of an old camera like I did and strap it onto the top out of the way of the buttons. Overall, a worth-while buy, but I see the newer models have a viewfinder, someone must have told Sony it was a mistake to miss them out on these models.
