I have been involved with MPEG2 encoding since 1999. I know what are the qualities of a good MPEG2 encoder. I can point very minute artifacts that results from MPEG2 encoder. Being said that, here is my verdict on video quality.
* No visible quantization artifacts (Blocky video)
* No visible edge blurring or edge artifacts
* Very little video noise in low light situation (If you are picky like me!!)
* Little visible interlacing (Window blind effect) for fast moving scenes.
Overall, this MPEG2 beats all the software encoders I have tried in past: TMPEGEnc, Cinemacraft, etc.
This video is as close as you can get with commercial DVD movie for very reasonable price.
I am not going to comment on other aspects of the camcorder. You will find them in other reviews.

The Sony DCR-SR200 is an excellent camcorder. It is very convenient to use. The video quality is excellent. The hard drive storage is much better than DV tape.
I wish the included software, Picture Motion Browser had the ability to add titles, simple transitions etc.
I am very happy with this purchase.

Everybody else has said all the good things about this camera, I need to document what I found to be negative issues (for me anyway). My first outing with this cam was at an air show. There was 20 MPH winds and bright sunshine. I need to stress that the microphones for the 5.1 surround are very sensitive to wind noise. I have 1.5 hours of really cool video, but when I play it back through my home theater, the sub woofer rumbles from the constant wind noise, making the playback annoying to listen to . Web research has told me to use a Band aid over the holes on windy days.
Now on to the touchscreen viewfinder. Being a little OCD, I have an issue with touching the screen and wiping off the fingerprints, but that's my problem, not Sony's. In the bright sun, it was nearly impossible to see what was on the viewfinder, so trying to follow a moving target like a jet or airplane, was a real challenge. I'm also chronologically vision impaired, and must use my reading glasses to see the
