"Great camcorder...as long as you use the Sony software"

The capabilities of the camcorder make it a very good buy, but the largest downside is the files it creates require a special 5.1 Audio CODEC that Sony will not provide a version that works with other software like Winamp or Windows Media Player.
The sad part is the 5.1 audio is lost with the built in microphone, but if I wanted 5.1 audio I would have purchased a different camcorder.
The night vision works great for closer shots (10-foot max) because the infrared source only goes so far. If you are in low light situations, like Pirates of the Caribbean (see review titled "Great camera for a great price" by spongebob) it does work pretty good but not great.
Given all the use this camcorder has seen in the past year, I would definitely buy it again along with the Sony NPFH70 battery pack.
"Great camcorder for indoor sports"

I've had my SR-82 for 2 years now and it been a great camcorder. I've shot at least 100 hours of middle school basketball games and have had no problems. I set it on HQ and even indoors with lots of running around the auto-focus works great and I very rarely have an out of focus shot. I use this cam on a Manfrotto mono-pod (see my review) and love the combo. I will never use anything other than a hard disk drive cam again, this is so easy to use and work with and don't have to worry about running out of memory storage. Battery life has been excellent but since I may have as many as three games a day I have bought a couple extra batteries and have numbered and rotate them. This way I don't have to carry around a charger and cord.

I really liked my camera a lot. Just shy of 12 months, though, it's now completely unusable. The screen video flips continually, like a tv with a vertical hold problem. Completely out of the blue. I've seen that others are having a similar problem, but I can't find a solution on Sony's support site or anywhere.
*** EDIT *** I just talked to Sony support, and this is a hardware issue. Since my camera is within the warranty period, they say it will cost *only* $120.00 (plus shipping) to fix it. Wheee. ************
I would NOT recommend buying this camera.

I've taken this camera on multiple outtings now, I have used it for a San Francisco vacation and several family functions. It is a great camera and I highly recommend it. I am not a novice but I'm not an expert and the camera seems fancier than I ever will need. It's easy to use and I love the touch screen but I HIGHLY recommend you get the bigger battery. I did and the big batter will be all you ever need. It also makes DVD's very easily with it's software, and I had no problems using any function.

This is my 3rd video camera and my first Sony and I absolutely love it! I have officially become a Sony Snob! It is worth every extra penny! I originally had a Panasonic then JVC and only wish I spent the extra money the first time for the Sony.
I am extremely picky with picture quality and could not be happier! For a personal/nonprofessional camera this is the best! My camera has been on 2 vacations all over the place in low light and bright light, even on a boat and I had NO problems with focus or color.
The touch screen is so easy to use and convenient. I love the setup and how easy it is to watch or delete a video.
I was sceptical about the night vision but think it is just as good as a regular light (I had one on my other camera). The picture is slightly grainy with the night vision which is to be expected in low light but I hands down prefer to not have everyone I am filming squinting from the bright light in their eyes.
I don't know what everyone is complaining about with charging the battery. I do not find this to be an issue- simply plug in the camera and the battery charges..... The battery seems to stay charged for 2-3 hours. I bought an extra one for $50 which works great.
I was not sure if I should purchase this model after reading the reviews of the picture quality compared to an HD model. THIS IS NOT AN HD CAMERA! Based on this, the picture is AWESOME! I could not be happier! This is the best quality I have had in a video camera by far in all areas. I have not tried to take pictures since I have my own camera and don't think you can expect the best pictures from a video camera. This was not a factor for me.
In my opinion, this is the BEST HDD video camera for the money and I will never buy another brand!
I never review anything, but I felt I needed to make a review of this product. We purchased this camcorder just before Christmas. Normally Sony makes great electronic equipment, but this camera has been terrible from day one.
For a long time I thought "Well, maybe it needs perfect lighting" or "Maybe the boys were moving to fast", but then I realized that our ancient camcorder - also a Sony - NEVER had a problem with these issues.
This camera almost never focuses properly. It's off just enough that you rub your eyes thinking maybe its you, but its not. If you watch through the view finder, you can actually stand there and see the picture go in and out of focus - and I'm not even moving.
I like the video to disk thing, but it's not worth much if you go to video you little boy's school play and get home to find everything is out of focus.
It's up to you, but I for one would never spend anything on one of these cameras again.
