    Super nice menus, easy to understand settings. My only issue is the quality when at longer distances, the picture can be a bit grainy and fuzzy.

    I bought this videocamera as a gift for my nephew and his wife. They had their first baby and wanted to use for capturing video. The price was reasonable.

    I bought this camera as a replacement for the same camcorder. It had started to develop extra clicks during video recording after 5 years of heavy use.

    Ended up taking it back camcorders like this just feel like they really have no use. Bought it for my daughter but she said it was ok because her phone does what this thing does.

    Wasn't sure how much I'd like the camera but has worked great so far. The mic in was especially important and glad I got a camera with that option.

    I am glad I purchased this camera, it was. A last minute decision for my trip to Africa. I got it at a clearance price and could have easily paid more for this product.

    This is almost a carbon copy of my previous Canon video camera. The one big problem with it is that I didn't know that the camcorder had no capability of setting it to continually post the time and date stamp on whatever's been recorded. The previous Canon, which was cheaper, did have such a setting. I'm required to have the time and date stamp on everything I shoot, and I have to set the time and date every time I use the camera. Very inconvenient for the price.

    Super affordable with a few features. I did notice that to get acceptable video quality I had to use the highest quality settings. This is viewed on a 75” tv soooo.

    Smaller than I thought. Works well, but because of size the screen is small which makes it hard to focus.
