'Fraid I have to agree with the skydiver there - I have the same camera & I've beaten the sh*t out of it on over 200 jumps - it's lost all the little covers over the firewire ports etc - still she keeps on truckin.
I'm not a Sony-head either, most of my kit is cheaper brand stuff (and better than Sony i reckon). I once paid a lot for a Sony laptop that turned out to be a big pile of crap in the end:(
BUT, their camcorders are top-notch indeed.
