    Wow! This little Handycam has blown me away. My wife of whom we are having to drag into the 21st century now uses this camcorder every day in her dance classes. She has it sync to a Samsung 42 in. TV and uses to critique her dancers. Sony captures all the action with no blur at all and is so easy to use. Just a great value for all you get with the Sony Handycam, a great entry-level camcorder.

    I love this camera! I was visiting in San Francisco, and wanted a camcorder during tours, rather than draining my phone battery. What I loved is that I could takes PICTURES while videoing, and it didn't disrupt the recording process in any way. I highly recommend this camcorder for anyone that would rather take video with an actual camera and not draining their phone battery!

    Nice camera, very light and tiny, easy to utilize. Used this camera while on horseback on a high elevation hunting trip and it was great for recording video of wildlife, even when they were 3/4 to one mile away. Extremely clear videos even at full zoom. Also was quiet so no issues with alerting game, even when they were very close.

    This was a great camera that was on sale when we were looking for something basic to take to kids sports events. Very impressed, takes great video, very lightweight. Went ahead and purchased a camera card online with it when I purchased the camera and all of it was waiting on me when I got to the store within 30 minutes. Charged overnight and used it the next morning. Very satisfied!

    We never had or used a camcorder before. This Sony camcorder was available at a great price and is simple to use. It also looks very nice. The battery lasts for 2 hours or so buying a 2nd battery is a good idea. Thankfully after 2 hours we were able to plug it in to an outlet. And then it continued to record beautifully.

    WE bought this camera to replace our old existing tape camera, and after a couple times using in (during our cruise and to tape some family events) it works so great. Easy to use, easy to hold, really a good product. Have loved our previous Sony products (televisions, walkmans, etc.) but this one goes to the front. Even easy to download our videos online, so other family members can access it. Definitely happy I purchased.
