Good camcorder
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I liked the way this camera zoomed in and out. I wish it used a full size SD card rather than the mini. Just a little hard to hold onto. Other than that, for the money, great value

Could be simpler

Beware of open box purchases.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The handycam was fine. It was an open box purchase and i see why. The battery was replaced with an old one. The battery it came with lasted less than 2 hours and would not recharge. Had to buy a new one. Shame on whoever returned this.
