My old Sony went bad awhile ago.
And I need to transfer tapes to DVD so I picked one up.
Its a Canon if any other name I would not buy.
I see them on ebay for about the same price but more shipping and the ebay ones are refurbs
this one is new.
THis Cam is very tiny at 1.9?3.6?4.5 in.
so I can take it everywhere with me in my pocket.
I think its the same size as my Canon Digital Camera and much lighter.
