After testing the Sony 200A "DVCAM", it failed so badly in image quality and operability that I DONATED IT TO A GOODWILL STORE within a week of purchasing one, used, from Ebay. The professional DVCAM format is an excellent tape format which I have used in higher end camcorders. The 200A not only isn't a "professional quality" product, it doesn't meet most currently expected amateur expectations. The menu controls are extremely awkward and the lens has no back-focus adjustment, so it goes out of focus when the zoom adjustment is used. The later versions have been improved and the high end professional DVCAM's are very good. Sony must have learned a lot from the shortcomings of this product. I wasted my money.

I love this camera because of the quality vs price I paid for it. I got it as a gift for my wife. She is having trouble mastering the ins and outs of a camera like this and I am disappointed in that it does not have the picture displayed in the LCD prior to snapping it. Other than that this was a great bargain and together, my wife and I will have a lot of fun learning to use it and enjoying the many pictures she will take of sporting activities with the grand children and some of our adventures as well. I am very happy I purchased it for her.
Great picture ... I ran the camera for over two hours and still had 80% of battery power left .. Fire wire from camera to computer ... A great camera ..

Great entry level professional DV camcorder. Great flexibility with audio inputs. I like the controls on outside versus other menu-driven camcorders. Definitely a step above the rest. Widescreen/16x9 mode works better than expected. Good camera for the money - definitely something that is not yet obsolete and will perform well for years to come under proper care.
This was the best surprise ever
