It's easy to use, yet produces excellent photos and videos.

Purchased this for husband to take to college lectures. He always sits pretty close but sometimes could not keep up with the professor. This camera catches the entire lecture so my husband can go back and complete his notes. It is very clear audio and video is amazing even in the low light of the classroom environment. Just make sure you clear it with your professor because some do not like being taped. The camera is small enough to fit in backpack or tote. Had to purchase extra battery just in case the one it came with ran out, but so far husband has not had to use it. It is is easy to turn off and on as needed during the lectures which saves battery time. Remember Best Buy has an excellent return policy if you don't like it. The reviews on this camera are excellent on the web and Consumer Reports.

Good size, very, very light almost cheap feel, but powerful camera. I've used an older model for around 10+ years and the advancements of design, components and hardware is very noticeable with this unit. It's remarkable how much lighter it is. I've never been a fan of the location of the USB cable in the handle strap. it has a weak point that wears with time and really deserves a better more considerate placement. One star off for that, but for the most part most consumers will be very pleased. An excellent home video camera for family films, travel and special events.

Love this little camcorder. It is easy to use, light weight and has clear videos.

Very light and easy to use. The no touch screen was an issue to get used to but the quality of the images is good for the price. The memory card slot was a slight issue when inserting. Have to get it just right for it to recognize. If you are looking for simple inexpensive camera that gets the job done, this is the one.
