The Camera quality shoot is superb you get superb quality video but the only drawback is its technical problems which our service technicians cant solve.... its very delicate you cant rough use the camera i mean not for everyday shooting .. mechanism is very weak it has an special error in all md9000 cameras after 30-40 shootings the camera malfunctions and doesnt start with single time it need to be pushed from the compartment side i think tape doesnt load properly all the camera specially MD9000 has this error. My advice not to buy this shit camera instead go for SONY BRAND PD150 little costly but tough mechanism.
