I used this to play and transfer my old mini dev tapes to my Mac mini and it works great. It has everything I need except for the IE dv cable and the FireWire adapter I bought on amazon. Very nice little unit.

I owned this exact model camera before, and needed to transfer my memories from my mini cassettes. That was the purpose for ordering this camera. There was no battery included, but that's ok, because that was disclosed. Im expecting all attachments that comes with it new to be included. There was a powercord by no audio/visual cord. The camera arrived with a rattling noise that sounded like something was loose on the inside, and there was, one of the spools that turn the cassette was unattached the white one in the photo, I was able to get reattached in place.when i played the cassette it played but video was jumpy, I stopped play and removed cassette, and it was unwound and damaged. The memory card functioned properly. Products that are defective should not be sold without disclosing nature of defect.Read full review

This is a great video camcorder that works well. The 353 has a memory stick slot so you can take digital still pics. You can also save them on your mini dv tape. Fairly cheap but gets the job done. SC-D353 HAS A INTERNAL MIC INPUT ,USB, FIREWIRE INPUTS ALSO. The camcorder does not have the nite pix feature that the 453 has. This is digital and excepts mini dv tapes. Very lightweight and easy to use. If you are looking for a inexpensive digital mini dv camcorder with a memory stick acceptable camcorder this will be the one for you.
I feel that this camera is great for the everyday consumer. For the price it has a large list of options. I used it for a project for my job. It is easy to use and the size is a plus. I realy like the camera. However, for professional project the picture quality is a little on the average side. In all, for everyday home use its great.
This is a pretty nice camera. Easy to use and good for beginners. It's a little skimpy on some features but for the price its not bad. I bought this camera for the price but I wish I would have waited and and gotten one with more features for a little more money. I have actually recently bought another camera, a Sony HI8/Digital 8 camera that I think has more features and a much better picture. If you like small cameras this one is nice.
