Thank you very much for the reply. I took the one back that I purchased at wal mart and ordered the same camera from buydig.com. Saved almost 100.00 bucks. I really haven't had a good chance to try it out yet but will. Your post really helped me feel better about the camera.

Have you tried the ZD710?? I bought one at Walmart also, a few weeks ago. I returned it. I personally didn't like it. I didn't like how noisy the pictures were and they really weren't that sharp. I am not sure if that was just my experience or I had to high of expectations for the ZD710 camera. I also didn't like trying to take any shots when any one was moving because the pictures turned out awful. So anyway, I returned it and am looking for something else.

You have a one year warranty. However, I would call the hotline and ask them. They are really nice and will probably help you. What's wrong with it? I know a lot about this camera.

The camera comes with the manufacturer 1 year warranty(against manufacturer defect) BUT I added 3 years total care/accidental damage warranty from Sony for 30 dollars that is in case the camera get dropped & breaks and they will have to replace it for free. Call Sony and ask them for extended total care/extended warranty, it is worth it.

IMO even if you can find how to get a warranty it's probably not worth pursuing. Mine was bad quality out of the box, and the most that the company is going to do is send you another crappy camera. Personally I have just marked mine up to bad judgement. Lou

It is new, I'm not sure about the length of the warranty. It is very good, but I have not yet figured out how to set exposure time with the camera, and how to save picture or video in the memory. I know I have to read the internet manual. But I can use help from you and friends. Pictures and videos are high quality, but they are formed accidentally. Most I lose or form after I focus the sight on the intended target.

Lauren, there should be a $250-$299.99 option. If not, you can get it directly from SquareTrade at: http://www.squaretrade.com/camera-warranty. I would go with the correct plan.

Hi, Please contact the seller via Amazon. I also had problems. I was in contact with the seller 2 or 3 times . They were super nice and walked me through all my problems. Also sent me new manual.My camera works super. I use it on WiFi and also broadcast on the internet in 720P. The noise your camera makes is not normal. Mind is very quite. I believe it has a 1 year warranty. Good Luck.

Yes I also noticed that. I had purchased this camera last month and returned mine for an exchange due to possibly being defective (after an email exchange with Canon support). Unfortunately they then emailed me that they no longer had it in stock and didn't know when they were going to get more. They could only offer me a refund. They finally showed it back in stock but then I was amazed at the price! I even emailed them to find out why but just got a non answer (to be expected I guess) about how their suppliers set the prices. As you say, this price is higher than Canons, so it makes you wonder what they are playing at. I guess they don't want anyone to buy it from them...! Yes I also noticed that.

Our camera is still working beautifully; I have not heard whether others have had issues. Good luck!

I am going to buy this camera as well... but i'll wait one or two months to get some discount. I don't think they are going to be able to sustain a $400 price for more than one month...

I sell both of these cameras at the store in which I work. I typically recommend the canon. We see many more Sony cameras come back with 'weird' problems... (we see NO canons coming back with any kind of problems... ok fine, two canon cameras in the two years I've been there). Also sony cameras try to hard to provide sharpness and clarity and sometimes leave odd marks on the images visible at high magnifications.

Kodak was in bankruptcy and came out in, I believe, Jan 2013. I believe there is warranty support and this might be something you would want to take up with Amazon. As I see it, Amazon takes some responsibility for the companies products they sell. If you have problem with it and don't feel comfortable with buying their products then maybe you should shy away from it. Myself, I feel confident that Amazon won't leave me out in the cold if something goes wrong with one of the products they sell. Hope this helps. By the way, the Camera is great. We bought this for my grandson. I have an older model which I've had for three years and it is working great.

There's NO WAY a Sony HDR-XR200V could be sold for $135. If that's what it said, then it was an operator mistake, pure and simple, and I would've cancelled the order as well. Mistakes do happen (both Walmart and Staples released typos on online ads this past Christmas, and informed their customers, who were ordering the incredibly-priced electronics, that refunds would be given, and the items could not be purchased at those prices.Sorry if you don't agree... but nobody's perfect. You won't get a $600 discount on this camera... sorry.(BTW - I just bought this camera at B&H; for around $598... it's currently $649.. STILL cheaper than Amazon. go there instead..)

There is a website that has this camera and the prices are very resonable. The site is adorama.com. They are located in NYC and I have been dealing with them for a while now and I never had a problem with them. They have the camera in stock. Once you get the camera, you will enjoy it.
