I purchased it for the price figuring how bad could it be. As it is today's technology it has to be better than my older cameras. Not so. Really poor video and still quality. I returned it the next day, paid $100 more and got the HDRCX190 and other than it not having a touch screen - it is GREAT!0 out of 0 found this review helpful.

I needed a camera to show vignettes from my work. The salespeople at Best Buy said they had nothing that would pick up conversations from 15 feet away. I bought this hoping they were wrong, and indeed they were. It picks up audio very clearly from 15 feet and the picture quality is great. My only complaint is the book is hard to understand, but with some playing around with the camera I was able to use it just as I wanted to. The internal memory is good for about six hours of recording time. Putting the videos on the computer and editing them is a bit complicated, but not beyond the average user. I heartily recommend it. It seems tiny but functions just as I would want it to.3 out of 3 found this review helpful.

Quality is satisfactory. Basic information about the camera very poor: on the website and in the provided pdf. (I think I finally figured out that the memory IS NOT a hard drive but imbedded memory) (I had all kind of "experts" inform me that the camera had a harddrive). Simple information about memory requirements: VERY CONFUSING, especially on the SONY site.
I initially tried the default Windows program. Windows XP treated it like I was trying to edit or work with "Lord of the Rings". It treated stuff I shot as copyrighted. I then tried the Nero which came with my Sony DVD player / recorder. It was difficult to work with. I would definately consider buying a different brand!3 out of 4 found this review helpful.

This camera takes good video under ideal conditions. Definitely use a tripod to reduce image shake. I was disappointed at how bad the image degrades with low light levels. I found that if there is a smudge on the lens this camera will not focus correctly. It will continually try to focus and ruin your shot2 out of 4 found this review helpful.

It has great imaging and easy to use. Instrutions to operate are clear and easy to follow.
I dont't like that the battery does not last long. I will need to buy a supplementary battery for long recordings (such as birthday parties, etc)2 out of 2 found this review helpful.
