Computer won't read mini-disks

One of the beauties of this camera is that the mini-disk can be taken out and played directly on your DVD player. You'd think that the same would be true of your computer. Wouldn't it make sense to be able to take the mini-disk out of the camera and then be able to call up the still photos you took and be able to email them or print them? Can't do it. You have to get special software disk called "Picture Package" ($70!) that they don't tell you is not compatable with Windows XP editions with Service Pack 2, which most Windows users have. When you install the software, it freezes your computer or worse and the tech support acts like you are the only victim in the world. It's a real scam.
I love it

The best thing about this camera is that it records audio in Dolby mode. So when I play back the mini-DVD, I get the sound out of all 5 speakers of my home theatre system! It's awesome. A+++
Great Camcorder

I love this camera from Sony. The recording quality of Video is just super and with 3 mega pixel of still images, I practically didn't need to buy a digital camera! This is the all-in-one solution that I have been looking for. I payed $565 for it and it's worth every penny. When it comes to camcorders, I think no brand compares to Sony.
