Alright I just found out that despite circuit city's receipt saying I have 14 days to return shit... I actually have 30 days IF it's defective. That means tomorrow is the last day I can go down there.

If this thing just had a defective hard drive in it then I'd exchange it for the same one. However, I just borrowed my sister's dcr-sr40 camera (similar model) and it appears to be doing the same thing. Sony is just putting piece of shit hard drives in these things I think. If you're in the same room as a guitar amp with one of these things you can forget about recording anything.

I may try to talk circuit city into letting me choose another camera model . Whether this will work or not remains to be seen, but I have to choose an alternate model just in case. But which format shall I go with?

-miniDV is probably useless to me considering I want to get these videos onto a computer.
-I'm afraid to try another HDD camcorder fearing it will do the same shit as this one.
-the mini-DVD camcorders, despite having expensive media, will probably have the same "getting the shit shook out of it" problem when recording to the media.
-Another option is the cameras that record to SD Cards. I think the largest cards you can get though are 4GB and they'll only hold about 40 minutes of mepg2 video.

Fuck... choices choices.

(how to get my money back on this $100 condenser mic that works ONLY with this sony camera is a problem for another day)
