This works fine on my Canon ZR10 camcorder–they want more than $200 for their remote, but their remote is also a LANC, so this is a much cheaper alternative. Note that the newer Canon camcorders do not have a LANC connector, it looks similar to a small stereo connector but smaller.
The power, zoom, record, and picture buttons all work while in camcorder mode. The only button that works while in VCR mode is the power (a limitation I suspect that would be present regardless of the remote.)
The Sony DSC-WX1 digital cybershot camara is one of the best fetured camaras around and if you order before Christmas you can get hold of one of these great camara for just $329. Ordering is safe and reliable through one of the best known names on the internet, Amazon. Here are just a few of the features available.

Sony DSC-WX1 Highlights
10.2-megapixel Back-Illuminated "Exmor R" CMOS Sensor Producing Stunning Images in Low Light
The DSC-WX1 features a 10.2-megapixel "Exmor R" CMOS image sensor that brings out the full resolving power of the camera’s G lens to deliver extremely fast speed, high resolution, and stunning low-light sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced grain--2x better than traditional sensors of equivalent size and pixel count. In addition, the combined "Exmor R" CMOS sensor and BIONZ image processor delivers extremely fast 10fps, Anti Motion Blur, Hand-held Twilight and 720p movie modes.
CMOS vs. non-CMOS image sensor
Premium f/2.4 G Lens
Designed and manufactured to the highest standards of optical performance, the Sony G Lens is optimized to perfectly complement the advanced image sensors and image processing technology in Sony’s cameras. This f/2.4 aperture lens gathers twice as much light as typical compact camera lenses, allowing you to shoot indoors or in low light without flash and with less noise. G lenses are used in top of the line digital single lens reflex (DSLR) cameras and advanced pro-sumer HD Camcorders.
Capture the whole picture with 24mm wide angle lens
Capture more of the scene in landscape or group portraits with the 24mm wide angle lens. Wide angle is especially useful in small rooms, where you can’t get far enough back from your subjects to capture them all.
5x Optical Zoom
Capture the action up close with the 5x optical zoom. Zoom in on kids on a soccer field or a jet skier on the lake, to see their expressions as they enjoy their sport.
2.7-inch Clear Photo LCD Plus
Compose and show off your images on the large 2.7-inch Clear Photo LCD Plus display (230K pixels).
Compact design Measuring at just 3 9/16 x 2 1/16 x 2 5/32 inches, the DSC-WX1 is compact enough to slip into most any pocket or purse, so you can take it with you wherever you go.
BIONZ image processor
The BIONZ image processor delivers the high resolution and fast performance you expect from a Sony digital camera. Fast processing enables Sweep Panorama Mode to create the image in seconds, clear images in low light settings, and layering one image over another to create a photo that looks just like what you see with your eyes.

Help answer the question about Sony Cybershot DSC-V1 Camera
Which superslim digital photocamera has superb macro function & gives no hazy pixelmasses like the Sony DSCV1?
I'm looking for a very good quality and (very) thin digital photocamera with a very good macro possibility. THIN, so i can always have it with me.Currently i've the Sony DSC-V1 (Cybershot 5.0 mpixel). It has a nice Carl Zeiss glass lens, but the camera Sony Cybershot DSC-V1 Camera is WAY too thick. And the pixels blend into each other, or the pixels look to be artificial, or the JPG-artifacts are too obvious, i don't really know what it is, but don't really like the pixels. If i shoot a bird or branches, the subject could have white lines of pixels around it.I use the lowest compression, but don't use the TIFF. BTW, i can't even see difference in quality between the TIFF and the JPG. The TIFF seems to have JPG-artifacts too... Strange.Things i don't care about: price, battery life, size of LCD screen, movie possibilities, more then 2x zoom, memory type.Things like automatic in-camera 'image optimization' algorithms are probably a big no-no.Or are the superslim camera's not up to the job, yet?

I have owned my DSC-V1 for at least 5 years and remembered paying over $500 for it new.
So why am I writing this review in 2008? Well the camera has survived many world trips, drops and still works great but I convinced my wife that it was time for a new one. So we started our research and bought the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5K since the reviews were awesome.
Then we took our first picture – we looked at each other and thought – our Sony takes better pictures. But I really wanted to love and keep this Lumix with HD video and all, so I took a slew of pictures with both cameras and asked my wife to tell me which ones she preferred – 90% of the time the Sony photo was preferred. So we visited her friend that owned the same Lumix (maybe we got a defective one) and compared more photos (even swapped memory cards) and again the photo quality from the Sony was better.
So how can all those reviewers get it wrong? Because in most cases they never do a photo comparison but if you did, boy would you be confused – I think it is easier to just be happier in your bliss.
We also tried a Canon SD850 and go the same results.
So I still have my DSC-V1 because I feel like I would have to go with a DSLR to find better photo quality. You can read all the reviews and specs until you eyes and head spin but in the end the proof is in the picture.
I rated the camera 4 stars but I agree with the reviewers about the speed and flash placement but if you want a camera that takes great quality photos, is durable and very affordable then look no further.
I do not agree with the negative comments regarding picture quality on the DSC-V1 as posted by other reviewers. I do agree, however, with the comments about the flash recharge time and how lousy that performance is. I got past that by purchasing an external flash and attaching it to the hot shoe on top of the camera (How many other digital cameras in the point and shoot class have a hot shoe????? Huge Plus for the DSC-V1 there).
Now, this camera was affected by the CCD issue that affected many camera families (not just Sony) over that last few years. Sony offered a free replacement of the CCD and I took advantage of it. I knew I was going to be without the camera for a few weeks, while the repair and shipping took place. But I had a vacation trip planned during that time, and I needed a camera.
So I went out and bought a Sony DSC-T30 7.2 megapixel camera to use for the trip. It seemed like a great camera, and it’s actually pretty capable. But the DSC-V1 just crushes it in photo quality. The color shading on the V1, and the depth of field are so much better — and that surprised me based on the 5 megapixel vs. 7.2 megapixel specs. My wife still likes the T30 for the size, as it’s case fits in her pocketbook nicely. But I use the DSC-V1 almost exclusively. The external flash took care of the ONLY negative I could come up with. I feel I hit a home run with that purchase.
This camera takes really good clear still photos, mostly in daylight conditions. Under darker conditions or faster action (especially with a zoom lens) not so much. I took a few pictures of the curtain call of a musical when I was in the 2nd row. Both my photos turned out blurry. I think my film camera would have taken better pictures.
Also, the macro lens on this camera is not worth using. The best macro lens on an older Sony camera is the DSC-S75.
So many little annoying things about this camera! Everytime anyone else takes a picture, I have to tell them not to put their finger on the flash which is placed in the worst place possible. Takes really bad indoor pictures. If the object (say kids)is even slightly moving the picture is soooooo blury! The flash takes so much time to recharge the by the time you want to take another picture the moments has come and gone! Thank goodness for photoshop because I am constantly ajusting the color quality, and red eye. It is so bulky compared to most cameras! The battery doesnt last more than 30 minutes. I would give this camera no stars but it wasn’t an option! Don’t waste your money. Buy a cannon!
I own this camera for 3 years now and I found that this camera has some real cool features. Photos are really good. The only problem with the camera is flash. If you ask somebody to take the photos, you have to particularly tell them not to put their fingure on the flash. Orelse, flash does not popup. Also, you cannot take pictures continously on flash because it takes some time for recharge. This is annoying me allot and I’m thinking of buying a Nikon camera because of this damn flash thing.
This is the best tripod I ever used. Is compact and it’s help me a lot with pictures when there’s no one to shut us a picture…. I recommend this Item very much… you’re going to love…
