THANK you for the heads up there!! Thats a life saver!

Ive been browsing Ebay..and I see a surprisingly high number of the DCR
cameras in Not Working condition.

Are they that fragile?

The DCR models go cheap and are claimed to be "in good working order"

Can you expand on the differences and so forth?

Are there ther brands that are as good as the Sony's?
