After reading the reviews here, I ordered the camera as a replacement for my Sony DCR PC-100 camcorder. Obviously my expectations were high. These were the few things I was terribly disappointed when I received the camera :
1..The camera is just not ergonomically designed. It was just so wierd to hold and operate with one hand. Just didn't feel right.
2..The videos I shot were so full of jerks and movements that it was impossible to watch them without feeling dizzy. I tried the special features on the camera that suppesedly help you to minimize the shaking.
3..The picture on the video was just OK in natural light but as soon the camera hit the indoors and areas with shade, it just went black - literally.
4..Even the still pictures were very average. Nothing to write home about. Same problem with the light issue.
5..I didn't buy this camera just because it is water resistant. So, I didn't even try that feature. It's cold and I had no intention of jumping into the pool to just try the water-tighness of the camera. For me, the camera was a failure in its basic function of taking clean, non-shaky, crisp pictures. It is small but not small enough to keep in a pocket. Doesn't have a cover for the lense and the cover it comes with is very tacky...Get more detail about Sanyo Xacti VPC-E2 Digital Camcorder and 8 MP Digital Camera (Blue).
