    Would be nice if camera bag was included. Staff explain the best SD card to get to make sure the video was as clear as possible.

    It takes really nice videos. We shoot sports outdoors alot. Just be aware that This camera says it has an extra bright screen to view the video as your shooting on sunny days. There is still alot of glare on the screen and its hard to see.

    I bought this camcorder for use at our dog club to send images to a projector. It is easy to use and mount on a tripod. I wish it had a little less video noise but this should improve when I get it into the bright lights of our club building. Resolution is great.

    Nice size. Like combo of still photo and video. Some trouble w easy access to show a portion of a video i.e. Fast forward or rewind. Could be solved by further reading directions.

    My fiance and I are planning on using this camcorder to record our wedding ceremony and first dances. After testing it out and playing around with it, I am not at all worried about how it will perform on the big day. Lightweight, great zoom quality, easy enough to use.

    We needed another video camera for the department here and we took a shot with this one and honestly, there is no regrets! The camera is handling the job well, even with the live streaming we do here. The internal memory helps out a lot too!

    This camera has lots of features for the money. It takes wonderful outdoor footage even when zoomed in. I have noticed some graining on indoor shooting but that may just be attributed to operator error.

    Bought this for work. Had to film a play, audio was great from the back of the room, video was a little grainy in low light. Lightweight, portable, and good quality in lighter areas.

    I like the camera once you are used to it, it is easy to navigate. I do have to white balance it every time I turn it on which is a little annoying but at least it's easy to do.

    The image stabilization works pretty well, and the optical zoom is pretty clear, however, the rest of the features don't really justify the $400 price tag. The WiFi camera server function fails to connect more times than not, and that was the main reason I bought this model, as opposed to the $200 less base model. Sadly, took me too long to find out the WiFi sucks, and now I'm out of the return window. Sucks to be me.

    I cant believe how small, yet easy to handle this camcorder is. It has wi-fi built in. Has built in memory along with the option to use a memory card as well. A great starter camcorder for the price.

    After looking for a new Compact camera I was torn between the Sony and cannon, I went with the cannon for the zoom and the fact it uses an SD card external storage. Great camera
