Pros: inexpensive good beginner/advanced videocam
Cons: hard to hold sometimes
The Bottom Line: With the $100 rebate, it is under $300. You just can't bet this price for a good homemade movie camcorder.

| annewlee's Full Review: Sharp VL-NZ155U Mini DV Camcorder |
I had a analog viewcam before and just love the design (one problem is that my LCD screen has a lots of fingerprint). This digital version is even smaller (it is smaller than my palm). It is easy to carry around (but it won't fit in your shirt pocket) However, sometimes I find it hard to hold the viewcam for long period of time because it lacks the hand strip that the analog version had.
It has digital still picture feature (it is a plus, but low resolution - which is fine for pictures for recording reason like showing the guy at home depot to match the replacement part. It is definitely won't take masterpiece like the 3-5 Mpixel digital camera). You can also transfer image on the tape to the card as still image. The 2 batteries are handy (standard [lasts for an 1 hour] and extended [for 3.5 hours]) and recharging time is reasonable. This viewcam is like many other that does not have external light source like Sony, it does not do too well in low light, but it has features to help, but with noise. (it is not that big a deal to me, it would be nice to have)
I can't tell the different between VL-NZ155 U and VL-NZ150U beside the color (this one is black).
