Was delighted to recieve this camcorder, after waitinga few months to buy it. However, upon use I found thatit was inoperable. The zoom did not work and there wasa constant need to "reset" the camcorder.I had read the glowing reviews, wonderful featureaccounts, as well as the outstanding video performanceevaluations. However, if the camera has to be sentback, none of the video performance, features, orreviews mean anything. The only thing that matters isthat I am out a camcorder (for some weeks) as well as$1,500. I am not sure which is worse.
