For Amazon's blow out price, you can't touch a Mini-DV recorder, let alone get one with a 3" LCD display. However, some clarification is required to Amazon's page. The camcorder does NOT have a color electronic viewfinder (EVF) as stated in the description. Amazon has been notified of the error.
Compared to my 8 year old VHS-C camcorder, the picture quality is like comparing DVD to VHS tape recordings. Images from the Mini-DV system are much cleaner. Then there is the size; nice, small and lightweight.
One final note, you'll find this camcorder bares a very strong resemblance to the JVC models (GR-DVL815), wonder why?

I bought this camcorder back in November of 2001. I used it until March, when it got stolen. I really enjoyed owning this camera. It's light, easy to maneuver, and the menus are easy to navigate. However, it did not take very good shots in bright light. It comes with all the cables and software necessary to hook on to the computer and to the TV. RCA discontinued this model, but if you come across it, buy it-I recommend this camcorder to anyone.

This camcorder is just the best . It has many wonderful features, plus it takes digital snapshots, and the software for your pc is included. You can purchase this camera and it's ready to go! We've been enjoying it for 6 months now and love it more every time we use it. The book is easy to follow. If you're looking for a camcorder/digital camera that takes clear pics, is easy to use and has many great, fun, features, this is the one!

This camcorder is loaded with cool features which are easy to use. The LCD screen is clear and the color view finder as well. The Super-VHS mode gives crystal clear video and sound. The digital camera feature works great and the software is easy to install and use. I have been impressed with the camera's operation and I have always had good luck with RCA products. It is a great Camcorder for the money!

I thought I did all the research possible to find the right camcorder. After searching online I had firmly decided on the Panasonic PV-L750. I wanted a camcorder with the still picture feature. When I got to the electronics store, the clerk persuaded me towards this RCA model. It was lighter, smaller, has a higher zoom and had a clearer picture. Although I initially thought he was just trying to talk me into a higher priced item, I chose the RCA. I am very pleased with this camcorder...and it's my first! At the store where I bought it, the Panasonic was a little cheaper, but keep in mind that it does not come with the VHS converter. Purchasing it separately would have made it actually made the Panasonic more expensive. I'm having a great time with my camcorder and I love being able to download and email pictures on my computer.

One of my friends bought this machine, and she brought it on her vacation to Hawaii. She showed us what she recorded during the trip when she come back. Thanks to this excellent camcorder, we also experience the great scence of Hawaii.

It is the best camera we have had so far. It is our 3rd. and by far the best for the money.

We purchased this model a few weeks ago after our 1996 camcorder went to "a better place". We are so happy with this camera! It has all the options that we need and that pop out viewing screen is the best! It is very easy to use and the videos are great. What more can a consumer ask for???

this is a really nice little camera. it zooms and has the little screen so you don't have to use the eye peice

After having researched many camcorders, I found this to be the most economical, with the extra features and perks you would want. It has GREAT quality in both the tape replay and the view on the lcd. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting a new cam corder, whether they be replacing a current one, or to anyone who is buying one for the first time. It is easy to use and handle and has everything at your finger tips. Voila - no fumbling or having to memorize every dial. Great for everyone. Plus, we wanted a camera with a tape that could be popped into the vcr and viewed right away. This camera provides that option easily, with the standard converter. Only drawback is length of time the battary lasts. I highly recommend always having a backup ready.....however, if you do not use the light, and you don't need to very often, it extends the life much longer.

This is my first camcorder and I think this RCA is so cool! It is extremley user friendly, excellent color, and excellent video quality. I thought I would have to spend $1000.00 to get this kind of quality. I would highly recommend this product!

I purchased this camcorder for my Mother for Mother's Day. She found it extremely easy and practical to use. We made tons and tons of home movies and sent them to the rest of our family. It helped us all connect more. We've had this camcorder now for 2 years, and it still works well for us everytime there's something we never want to forget.

This camera has many good features, and I found it easy to use. Unfortunately, after only 14 months of light usage, the electronics developed gremlins. The viewfinder suddenly went from color to black and white, the door began popping open on its own, and soon the viewfinder was only working half the time. The camera wasn't abused; I was filming with it one morning and it was performing normally, then suddenly not. I attempted to get a repair estimate and it wasn't easy, even at designated RCA repair shops. I was told that it would cost less to buy a new camera than it would to have this one fixed. I'm disappointed in RCA re this product. Granted, it's an inexpensive camera, but I expected a little more longevity than this.

this is a good camera ...the door is flismy
and i had the battery lose its charge several times
my new problem is the viewfinder decided to give up on me
with a white screen ...grrrr
anyways it was an awesome camera while it lasted
rock and roll!

Lights, Action, Camera...This is a very good camera; light, easy to use, simple to understand, all controls are easy to reach, picks up the sound of a needle dropping on the floor, vcr mode lets you playback what you taped, and great in low light! Also, less gadgets mean longer battery duration! But, it does NOT have a view screen on the side (that lets you take your eye away from the viewer), or a speaker to let you hear sound during playback, or a light.If you like to keep things simple, Buy It!...fade to black.

This camcorder is fantatic in all that it does. Light and surprising clarity of output. The only disadvantage is that you only get a 30 minute battery and 30 minute video cassette. Having to stop and charge your battery every thirty minutes could tend to be a bothersome bore. I have called to get another battery but RCA don't sell any batteries past 30 minutes. Other then that. The cam is easy to use and you can put video characters while you are recording.

I enter this sight just for gk (general knowledge) of a product that we recently purchased. I was very impressed with information that was available to me at a push of a button. Everything was very easy to find. My 2 years old niece could of looked it up if I had asked her to. This is what I like in a sight something that is simple and easy to get in and get out of. I must compliment everyone who is involved with making Amazon such a terrific sight with alot of on hand information at a touch of a button. I going to make this review as short as possible and again I would like to Thank You... Keep up the good work!!!!!! You guys deserve 5 stars (*****)

I feel obligated to write a review for this perfect device because everyone should be able to profit from it like I did. I was looking for a camcorder, but I did not want to spend a fortune for one. One of my best friends recently purchased a RCA CC6151 and was raving about it. He's pretty reliable, so I bought one. Why should you? In the order in which I experienced the value of the RCA CC6151, I'll begin with the price. It was definitely in the range I was looking for. The first time I used it, I was astounded by how easy it was to use. I was also delighted by how light it is. It is convenient to carry around because of its size. To be honest, when I sat down to watch the first video I recorded, I wasn't expecting too much. But as soon as I hit play, I realized that the picture was BETTER than any of my friends' higher priced camcorders. Granted, I've only seen the results of about ten other camcorders, but the sound was just as good, if not better, than all of the others as well. To recap: This camcorder is easy to use, conveniently sized, lightweight, and provides as good of a picture and sound as I've experienced. Do yourselves a favor and get the most of your money!
