    Good quality video for the price, but you can not add an external microphone.

    This might work better closer up but I bought it for the zoom feature. The video was fuzzy and definitely not high-def. Pretty disappointed. Will be returning.

    I bought this camera as a gift for my son and he loves it. The only thing he doesn’t like is at full zoom the quality isn’t the greatest.

    The camera I came to the store to purchase was out of stock. An associate told me that this was a comparable item that would do all of the things the other camera was capable of doing (specifically, we were looking for an entry level camera for streaming). This camera is not a equal to the one we came to purchase and was returned so we could purchase the correct camera from another source.

    I previously owned a Sony Handycam and went back for another Sony. This is a very inexpensive, small Handycam, and very reliable. Would definitely recommend to others.

    This camcorder works well. However, I felt it needed more zoom so that my vision distance view matched 100% thru the camcorder before using the zoom feature.
