    I'm no professional by any means and this fit the bill perfectly. I upgraded from a Handycam and there was a world of a difference. It's like watching a show on HD and then seeing it on SD. Picture quality is great

    We are using this for Livestream at our church and it works perfectly. We use BOXCAST and the reality is that Livestream only streams in 720p anyways so this camera is MORE than adequate.

    Fantastic Video Camera

    This camera is phenomenal. Besides the ability to 'follow' the action (the lens itself tracks the action) it has many powerful features. There is only one thing that I wish the camera did differently and this is not a short coming of its capabilities: I had intended to put a much larger Micro SD memory card in the memory slot, so i could hold much more 'footage'. Unfortunately the 'reader' on the camera is not able to see larger than 128 gb in memory. I would expect that this is true of all cameras. Anyway, buy this camcorder, it is the one.

    Good camera with quality features I'm used to from Sony. The microphone included with it doesn't work too well for outdoor filming at any kind of distance at all, but video quality is outstanding!
