It's a good thing that it has a thirty day warranty. Good for me because I saw how big of a waste of money this was within the first week that I had it. You get what you pay for, this I know, but still - if you're gonna shell out $245 for something, it should atleast give you a little bit of quality. First, it records everything in a dark, kinda black and white tint. You don't get full fledged color at all. Second, it cuts off automatically while taping things and the quality isn't that great.I HATE IT. I'M TAKING MINE BACK TODAY.It also gets overheated, and the discs are so hot when they come out, that its not funny.
