I love this camcorder
I bought this last year with extended warranty as I have kids at home. I bet they tried their best 2 damage the camcorder but with no luck. That's about robustness.
It's big screen is a great feature I don't find this in latest 403. I have tried many brand of DVD's & have not experienced ANY problem with recording or playing back.
Things I like about latest 403 is, it has got 3MP still photography, a flash & a shoe 2 fit light. Otherwise 301 camcorder is very good espcially with marked down price. I feel like buying one more after gifting mine 2 my dad (against my will !! He loved it so much & he asked me first time 4 something & I coudn't say no).
I have seen 403 & if price & size (of LCD) dosen't matter, I recommend buying it. Otherwise 301 is the best.
I have also heared lot of guys complaining about the editing software that ships with this camcorder. Honestly 4 starters, it's better than pinnacle or other high tech softwares because it's easy 2 learn & is targeted 4 entire range of users.
Net net, this is a good deal. And if you got few extra bucks, go 4 403.

For those looking 2 buy the cheapest dvd-r.....
Don't get Memorex dvd-r! I know people buy Memorex 4 its price. It well known Memorex doesn't work well with any burners. Go with Sony, Verbatim, Fuji, or TDK even though you pay a bit more.

Too many error messages
I use this camera 4 training purposes. I need every recording 2 come out perfectly so that I amy critique the participants. The camera does everything it says it will do but it does not read discs well. Last week, of 3 participants in the room, the recordings failed twice. Bah, humbug Sony! I can't afford 2 lose a recording when my clients are paying 4 the training.

I'm looking 4 another camera.

I really like this camcorder; battery leaves something 2 be desired
While I know that a bigger lcd screen is going 2 eat up the battery faster, a 3-1/2 inch screen is an awesome thing. My eyesight isn't what it used 2 be, & also I sometimes like 2 share what I have filmed with my parents right away; the bigger screen is a significant advantage. I don't really care about the new touch screen technology--in less than careful hands I would think that your lcd could be "toast" pretty quickly. Thus I don't mind having "buttons" 2 push. The adjustable viewfinder (now becoming a thing of the past) is a good thing too. The picture quality was great, & the disc finalized, played back in my dvd player without a hitch. The only complaint I would have is about the battery-- the one that comes with the camera runs out pretty quick, even if you aren't using the lcd. I was going 2 get one of the bigger ones, but they seem significantly bigger & heavier. So I just got another one of the small ones. It would also be nice if Sony would include a compact/travel charger instead of forcing you 2 purchase it separate; then again, I guess that's why Sony makes the kind of money it does . . .
