    This video camera does a great job with video. It is still nice to have a dedicated video camera. The camera makes it easy to transfer video to a computer. Would buy again if needed.

    It’s not the best camcorder I’ve ever used, but it’s great for the price. I got an open box one, and it works just fine. It’s very light, so I don’t know how sturdy it is. I wish the lens cover opened automatically and the LCD screen were a bit bigger.

    Okay camcorder. Eleven year old Granddaughter likes it but I find it didn't respond to the buttons most of the time and frustrating. It takes nice video . Just not very user friendly. Too expensive for what you get.

    My husband gifted this to me for Christmas....love it! Some reviews say that taking a photo while still recording makes a 5 sec delay in playback of video. This is not true. There is no pause or proof that a still photo was taken when a video is played back. I tested many times just to make sure.

    With grown kids and an iPhone I don’t really need a video camera much anymore, but this low end unit does the trick for vacations. Fine if you are not asking for many features; the quality is very good.
