Sony DCR-DVD610 Handycam Camcorder...?

Question

I am thinking of buying a Sony DCR-DVD610 Handycam Camcorder. If anyone owns one, i'd like some feedback!

1. How long does the battery last with one charge?

2. Are there any larger battery packs you can buy?

3. Do you need to buy any software in order to put everything on the computer?

4. I've heard that sony disks work the best....which kind goes with this style.....DVD+RW, DVD-R, DVD+R, or something different?

5. Where the cheapest ones are....on amazon.com two weeks ago it was $286.88, and now it's over $300....i'm looking for something closer to the $280 number.

6. Are all of the sony camcorder disks have only 30 minutes of recording time? are there some with more like 60 minutes?

7. If taking pictures with it, do you need to buy a memory stick? If yes, about how much do they cost?

8. Are you happy with your camcorder???

If you don't have 8 answers that's okay! Just answer as many as you can! Thanks for being helpful!!
