I am the proud owner of a Sony HDR-TG3 the worlds smallest full HD camcorder. I have tried other Memory Sticks and they have failed to deliver, falling after only a few vidoe takes. Listen don't be fooled into thinking other sticks will work ok. They won't you need a Sony Mark 2 ( and it should state this on the stick) any other and you will fall fail to error messages after only a little recording. These are the real mackoy and are a dam sight cheaper than any other seller. Great, shame I couldn't get them before my holiday though ! The ones I managed to take with me were said to me mark 2's and they weren't and the errored after a short recording period. I had to buy three 4GB sticks (all I could get) instead. Lost lots of recording time aswell ,bit of a bumer but you leant with time.
The HDR TG3 is the nuts, the darker areas on the camera are actually a very nice dark shade of Brown, very classy ! Dont look like a div carrying a larger camera. I took this to Florida recently… more »

The HDR TG3 is the nuts, the darker areas on the camera are actually a very nice dark shade of Brown, very classy ! Dont look like a div carrying a larger camera. I took this to Florida recently and I may as well have ben carrying a camera around with me. I really didn't notice it either in my pocket or around on my belt. I vieo'ed everything. All in the lowest possible HD quality (giving more recoding time), and because of the great sun shine you still get a fantastic picture. For a whole days shooting you will probably need another couple of batteries and a couple of extra chips, just to make sure you covered. I also bought a Sony VCD-MC5 vidoe recorder, all you do is plug your camera direcly in to it and press a button and hey presto a couple of mins later a HD DVD to keep forever. I burned a couple, one as a master and one to use everyday.
Getting back to the camera, there are a nice couple of little touches. One being the slow motion caption. It will take three seconds of video then replay it back over 12 seconds making some craking video. Second you can very easily cut clips in to two then delete the bit which went wrong.
The gear I bought has to be the best Camcorder and accesories out there... Brilliant !
