    The camera comes with everything that you need to shoot a good video but is also limited if you are thinking you need options. This is point and shoot with not many choices on features.

    Good camera but basic if you need high quality, maybe it's not the best option, there are better options paying a little more

    It’s ok, after I bought it I was told if I wanted to add a microphone, the microphone needed its own power supply. How inconvenient!

    Not as good as our previous Sony

    I purchased this to replace an old Sony HDR-CX130 that had broken. I returned it when I was able to see the zoom and picture quality. Neither were as good as the Sony so I returned it. Also, the battery sticks way out the back of the camera compared to the Sony and is very unwieldy. I have no complaints on the functioning of the camcorder, it just does not have as good of a picture or zoom as my old Sony camcorder.

    I love my Canon mirrorless and DSLRs for video. This is like a cheaper camcorder version. Not great at anything.

    When I took out the camera from the package, I was not happy with the external battery system attached which is completely eye sore...

    This seems like a good little camera, but it didn't fit my needs as a replacement for a webcam.

    The Canon Camcord was alright. Its fine for basic recording. I was expecting more bells and whistles with it.

    You have to keep resetting the timer. Not happy about that. My cell phone does all that and more. Why did I pay 200.00?

    This is easy to use and I bought one for a Safari. You cannot see the image finder outside even in the shade. You have to "Point and Hope" I was Totally Upset.

    I purchased this for my YouTube channel the figured out that I also needed a wide angle lens it dosen't have a mount for a mic so I had to purchase an additional hand held bracket to attach to the bottom of the camera that also hand a place to mount a mic. So save your money and just use your cellphone with a power mic.
