Just reading your blog guys. I bought one of these cameras privately, not knowing they were a fake. I should have done a 'Google' search first before buying, ( what a mug! ). I WAS gonna put it on eBay, now, since reading reading your reviews etc. I've changed my mind. Don't want any dodgy deals from me on eBay, got a good feedback, don't wanna ruin it 'cos a scabby fake camcorder. It DOES take moving piccies, as well as stills, but the quality was never good. I uploaded from the cam and some, not all photos and vids were not good quality. Thought it was me and my cam skills. Cant find any ref to a SONY mx 7000 for a driver update anywhere, it doesn't exist. So, BEWARE anyone being offered these cams cheap, you'll be stung good style, just like a few of us have been. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!
