Sony Handycam DCR-TRV80 Digital Camcorder - 3.5" LCD...

Strengths: STILL PICTURES ARE GREAT QUALITY WITH THIS UNIT. AMAZING IMAGE STABILIZATION

Weakness: NOTHING REALLY

ITS A REALLY COMPACT ITEM . I LOVE IT. GREAT RECORDING AND ALSO ALLOWS YOU TO UPGRADE YOU LENSES AS WELL. OPTIONAL WIDE ANGLE OR TELEPHOTO LENES REALLY DO UPGRADE THE IMAGE.(I DID PURCHASE THOSE!) I OWN ABOUT 4 DIFFERENT CAMCORDER AND THIS ONE IS BY FAR THE BEST
