Customer Ratings & Reviews

A very good purchase for my video needs and budget. My first vc in 15 years, very impressed with the digital zoom. It is not 5 stars cuz the battery life is too short and when trying to use an external battery it only works to playback but not for recording. I would have to buy a second battery pack and is an extra expense I didn't want to do. Cool pro is that one can record max quality and at the same time recorder will keep a streaming size and quality backup video.

Easy to use camera for beginners. Takes great videos that don't come out shakey.

Great Handy-cam for a beginner, its a gift for my daughter and uses it for her school projects and she loves it. Size is a huge bonus- futsals in her hand and quality and ease of using it - simple and nice.

I think this cam is great. Keep in mind my last Handycam was a mini DV tape unit. The quality of recording is great. The image stabilizer and optical zoom are fantastic. It does feel like a toy, it's super light, but just be careful. Yes, as it gets darker out the Quality suffers, but thats normal, not this camera only. I don't use it after dusk, no biggie. Highly recommend for a general use camera.

Ok so this is not 4K Nd far from the best value but for under two hundred dollars you can make it work well. I bought several items to improve the audio since you can’t hook a mic to it. You can hook it up to a 15ft micro usb to allow for tripod usage with out using the battery. When you buy this do yourself the favor and buy the Sony charger and extra battery also buy no greater than 64 gigs byte cars because anything bigger does not work. Again if you are recoding in HD beware 74gig card is the biggest l.

Got this as a gift for my daughter. She wanted a lightweight camcorder for use in horse training, without the 'bells and whistles' of an action camcorder. Relatively inexpensive, and it does everything that she wants from it.

I needed this camera to video tape myself for student teaching. This camera worked perfectly, was easy to set up, and very easy to use. My video quality was great for this purpose and the audio was loud and clear.

I bought this for my tween son for Christmas. He loves making movies with a green screen. The video quality is great and the camera is the perfect size for him. So far, so good :)

Great, easy to use camcorder! I can always trust Sony. I originally purchased the camcorder to document family history, but I also used it to record hikes and wildlife.

I haven't used it too much, but it's exactly what I wanted! The zoom is amazing, especially compared to other camcorders around the same price. Easy to use.

I use this camera for Investigative purposes and it provides great battery life and had video quality. The only problem I had was that the usb charging cord wears down quickly.

Purchased this to film new baby. Have not had any problems. Very easy to use and extremely lightweight. Strap is adjustable for my husband's larger hands, so he is happy about that. We like the camera - seems like a great value!

Light weight and great zoom. Video quality is pretty good and decent stabilization.

Bought it as a gift for my brother. He loved how light it was. He also said he really enjoyed the quality of the video. Easy to use. Easy to upload videos to the computer too.

This camera is great for shooting simple videos for family and friends. It has everything you need to get started. It doesn't have the ability to use an external microphone, which would be nice. The zoom is great and it shoots good in low light.

My wife and I purchased a camcorder very similar to this one. We decided to purchase this one for my daughter and son in law for a Christmas gift. This is going to be the perfect gift seeing as how we are having a little addition to our family! Great for catching those moments in time that are so special!

Great camcorder easy to use great pictures I bought this to record my son's judo tournaments and couldn't be happier playback on our 55 inch tv is crystal clear was very happy that playback was full screen

I wanted a small, easy to use video camera and that's exactly what i got. I love how easy it is to use and the pictures and video are awesome.

Nice compact sony handycam. Easy to operate and enjoy having it handy.Compact size allows for really easy transport.I have nothing negative thus far in using this handycam camcorder.

Love this camera, been using this since July 2021 to record my life memories, and has been doing wonders, even at such a great price!
