    Great price and love the ability to add an external mic. The internal storage as well as the flash card is fantastic. This is my second digital camcorder and an upgrade. Will definitely meet my needs for producing videos.

    This camcorder works great for any outing or just a fun time at home with your family. I bought it due to the different picture modes it came with. I'm particular to the sport setting, works great at my sons AAU basketball games.

    This is a very nice camera. Small and easy to use. I especially like the very steady picture when filming my grandson's hockey games. It focuses very quickly with no shake in the video as the camera is moving.

    This was a Christmas gift for my son. He is very happy with it. When we went to the store to purchase it they didn't have any in stock but were able to have it delivered no charge in just two days. Awesome service.

    Easy to hold for video action, but tough to negotiate when taking single pictures. You have hold the camcorder steady with one hand, while the other hand has to hit this little button on the flip screen.

    A great value for its options and price point. There are higher end models but for the average user you will find that the price and the options it brings are excellent.

    We bought this as an entry level streaming camera for our church. The camera worked as expected, except the "wireless" functionality, which is completely useless. I was able to get a smart phone connected, but the cam has to be in a specific mode which doesn't stream out to the HDMI port. So, no wireless control of zoom or on/off.
