General Comments

The reason I chose the DVP7 over other cameras available at the time (May 2003) were
a) size, I wanted a camera I could hold in a belt pouch - as a previous analogue Vid camera slung around my neck, b) analogue pass through - to enable conversion of old tapes c) built in lens cover, d) quick start up, e) High quality video - consumer 3CCD not available in 2003.

What I got, and didn't need were a) still camera, b) built in sound effects, c) mp3 player, d) webcam

In hind sight what I would have liked (after 2.5 years use) and didn't get were, a) external mic socket, b) manual focus, c) larger LCD display d) more comfortable grip

Problems I have had in more that 2.5 yrs use a) intermittent LCD display, b) slow zoom-in. I have had both problems repaired, as I still love to use this camera.
