I have the old version of this great camera takes movies and stills

This camcorder works great...until it doesn't which is frequent. The screen will go black, yet all functions work. It appears it has a defect in the iris lubricant - it gets "sticky" after time and the iris (over the lens) closes and won't open anymore - then everything is black.

I've had it happen twice on our HD2. They charged $180 to fix it the first time. Not worth it to fix again.

Beware other models like this from Sanyo! Although, I hope they've learned their lesson...
