The only reason I gave it two stars instead of one is that I hear Sony may have fixed the problem in ones made after mid 2009. The tape door won't close and, upon researching it on some support forum, I found what seemed like hundreds of people having this same problem. Some were able to solve it using various methods (some by-the-book, some completely illegitimate), but it seemed like most people were stuck with a broken camera that Sony wants to charge to fix it more than what you will pay to buy it.
