This was a little expensive, but a cheap alternative to the others. It's a perfect little camera for those who are just starting out, want to make home videos, or whatever.

A fine little camera, has all the features you'd expect with a good menu. However the camera runs quite hot when in use.

The audio in this camera is very poor indoors. I bought it to use for family occasions so disappointed about that. Added a lapel microphone.Better but I think I need shotgun mic for large area. After an hour usage camera was very hot to touch. Took it back for exchange.

I bought this camera to video tape my daughters' volleyball games. It has a really good picture. We review the footage after each game and are impressed by the quality.

For someone that is not tech savy this camera has done a great job filming high school basketball games. Then my son watches the film on our TV. Works great.

Great picture quality. Good sound and stabilization. Mechanically sound and worth the money if you're looking for economical flash memory camcorder.

Video camera was a great price. Only used it once since purchasing it, but it worked as expected. Battery does protrude a bit more than expected.

Excellent camcorder for the money. Great picture if you use highest or next to highest speed. Less record time of course but worth it.
