Recording is nice but battery life is horrible. I bought this to record my son’s graduation and about 45 min into the program it shut off despite it being fully charged. I was really disappointed because that’s why I had bought it. I had no idea the charge would last such little time. Will be getting another Sony. My Sony is 18 years old and still works but battery is so old it doesn’t hold the charge for too long 30 min max.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and feedback with us! The supplied battery has an actual recording time of 50 minutes. For a longer recording time, we advise using the VW-VBT380 battery instead. -M

Bought open box item. Was missing a cable but otherwise in fantastic shape. Great buy, will definitely help capture family memories. Hard to remember the good times like we had when every video is in 5 seconds in an app!

Great image quality. Can't completely turn off audio during recording when you want to use a separate audio source. The on-screen menus are not as intuitive as they should be.

After my Canon camcorder died I wanted another one and choose the V785K. Had a great open box offer and bought it. The camcorder is light. The menu is easy to navigate and has multiple options. Has an AVCHD and MP4 which is a plus. I returned the camcorder because the video was soft and no matter how much I tweaked the settings the quality didn't improve.
