    Very happy with this little camcorder! Fits smaller hands comfortably, attaches straight into a USB port to download and edit, no wifi needed. Video is sharp and clear. Have been recording grandkid basketball games, and looking forward to ease of filming highlights of our next cruise.

    This is a good camera for the price... unfortunately for what we are using it for it's controls are in bad locations. We are using this camera to stream church services. but the mini hdmi connector can only be accessed by opening the screen, and then opening a door. which means we cannot leave it connected all the time. The zoom controls are great if you are holding this in your hand... less so if it's on a tripod... picture quality is great and overall it's a great camera... just hard to work with in our usage

    This camcorder is great! It's very user friendly and the quality is wonderful, the size of this camcorder is great for us as we love to take it with us on vacations, road trips and family gatherings. We haven't down loaded to the computer yet but I'm confident it won't difficult. So happy with this purchase.

    Bought this for 199 on sale. The camcorder is easy to use and on screen menus are intuitive. The battery lasts about 3 hours with stop/start usage. Wish the lens cover would automatically close and open when the camcorder is turned off/on. Overall good value for price.

    This is an excellent camcorder for the price. The zoom is great and it takes good videos even at dusk. With the cord included, it's easy to instantly watch the video you just took by hooking it up to the TV.

    It works exactly as it says, records continuously, and in 2 formats if you need it. I needed this to record at least an hour with no breaks and it was a champ! Battery life is great. I am super happy I bought this and from best buy too, because they were able to answer my questions about it - which lead to its stellar performance when I needed it most.

    I was looking for something compact & affordable. This hit the nail on the head I was of course debating on getting something better but at the time I had no money. I've had this camera for about 2 months now & I've recorded my b-day celebration, my cousin's graduation, & a couple of vlogs. This camcorder is awesome! I don't know much about camcorder tech but from whatever I can learn from this one I will pass on knowledge to future buyers. This camera is small & discrete & can fit in cargo shorts or straight fit jeans. Very accessible the boot up time is almost non-existent. It gives plenty of recording options the settings are easy to toggle through my only complaint would be a bigger & more sturdy navigation toggle button I have small but beefy hands & it's not an issue for me to go through the settings it just feel better if it was bigger & more sturdy as well.

    My camcorder stopped working this fall and I wanted something for Christmas programs and gift opening. This is very small and very easy to use. I'm not sure I like having to put everything on a SD card. I'm not sure what I'm going to do for playback. But overall a good value for the cost.

    Got this for my 11 year old daughter for Christmas. The features seem nice and the quality of the build and video quality seem good too. I got it up and running for her and she figured out how to use it and the features it has. Got it on a black Friday sale at a great price and came with bag and memory card.

    Not much to say but I am 100% pleased with the quality and performance of this budget priced HD camcorder. I would recommend purchasing at least a 64 mb/second mini-sd memory card so that you can record in the latest HD Sony format.

    1080p 60fps AvCHD. Great zoom. Super-compact with a hidden compartment for the spare battery. What else could one ask for on a 225$ budget?

    I wasn't looking for anything fancy, just something to make home videos. I wanted something simple enough that my daughters could use it. I've been very happy with the Handycam. It did well at a soccer game, family gatherings both indoor and out, a bit of traveling.

    I use this small camera for filming my lessons. It's very easy to use even for a beginner like myself. It's lightweight. I like that the USB is hidden in the strap (very clever). I can either take pictures or record with it.

    This is a really great camcorder for basic use. We are using it to document a journey and it's been working fine. I haven't had any issues with it at all. The price on it was really good for the quality you get with this camera.
