    I just wanted to use this video camera for family functions, something easy and light and that fits the bill. The menu is hard to maneuver since the control button is so small

    After years of dealing with cassettes, I needed a camcorder which wasn't limited to an hour of recording per tape. This camcorder with it's ability to take various size cards has been great for me as I record events.

    Perfect for the kids sport games... I bought a second battery to have on hand . The 64 GB disk haas plenty of storage, but the battery only lasts about 2 -3 hours worth of gametime. Good camera overall

    Bought this for YouTube videos and has worked like a charm. Only downside is the mic is not very good and limited inputs and outputs.

    Good Cam

    I love how light weight this camcorder is and the zoom helps you to see things really far without distortion. The menu is easy to navigate. You don't need to buy any other cords to hook the camcorder up your HDTV or computer; it comes with all of it! The battery is good for over 7 hours and will automatically shutdown after 30 secs of non-use, or after closing the window. My complaints are unless the person you are recording is close or speaking slightly louder than their inside voice the recorder will not pick up their voice, but if you have loud speaking friends or family this should not worry you. These are minor issues. The biggest problem I have is the USB charging wire attached to the camcorder. If that wire brakes there is no other way to charge the camcorder... Even with these complaints I would still recommend buying it. 4 stars because of the attached USB wire.

    While this camcorder can't do what the expensive camcorders can do, given the price it is fantastic. Easy to use and it picks up sound extremely well and the videos are great.
