    I replaced an old camcorder and had high expectations since mine was so outdated. This camera does everything it supposed to do and is user friendly. I was a little disappointed in the film quality. It wasn't bad but I thought I'd be a little more wow' when replacing my dinosaur. I wasn't. The biggest con I have found so far is that it really picks up tiny movement/shaking even with a tripod. Good, not great.

    Great camera. Have used it to video volleyball games from a tri pod and the picture and video are great. Battery life has been good. I have been able to video 3 matches and still have battery life.

    Very Good Quality videos. Surprised it came with NO Operating Manual AND No Internal Memory. You have to purchase an SDM card to record anything. Price is reasonable, however.

    I bought this camcorder for my teenage son who likes to make You Tube videos. It's a really nice camcorder but the product information in the manual is very misleading. It clearly states in the manual for this model that it can connect to WiFi. This is not true. We followed the instructions in the manual, watched instructional videos and even enlisted the help of the Geek Squad only to find out it is not WiFi compatible. So if your looking for a product to just shoot videos and don't mind uploading them via a memory card then this is a good camcorder. Disappointed in the fact that for the price it isn't WiFi compatible.

    I originally purchased this camcorder to record my nieces play, it was perfect for this event. I was in a very crowded auditorium and was able to shoot around the crowd without blocking others view.

    Functionality is easy to learn. video quality is good for the price range. Zoom function seems a bit slow compared to other products ive used; however, it is not too bad.

    Several people have said "why get a camcorder, use your phone". Well once you have used a dedicated, HD camcorder you will know the answer. This is an excellent product, good price too.

    The picture is good, playback is clear, and best of all it turns off by itself when u shut the screen. I love that feature as I forget to turn off the switch and the battery drains off

    It's not the most professional camera, but it does come in handy when you want to film something on the spot without prior planning.
