    We bought this video camera for my husband to record our son's performances. Great video clarity and more important, the sound and ease of uploading onto our computer make this a great tool!

    Bought two of theses cams, one for each of my college age girls. They love them, both for the quality of the picture, but they love how compact and packable the camera is. Highly recommend this camcorder

    Sony still knows how to make a video camera! Love the easy to use features and quick access to the memory card for exporting files. Very small, which makes it convenient to travel with!

    This was an impulse buy. I didn't NEED the camera, but I was in a small bind of my own making. Purchased at the Best Buy in Virginia Beach, this camera has ALMOST everything I look for in a camcorder. It's extremely lightweight, has a Zeiss lens. From what I learned Zeiss lenses are of very high quality. It produces very clear pictures/video. I found it add that the USB charger/transfer cable is in the hand grip, but whatever. This camera dos NOT do time lapse. Other than that, I find little to complain about. For my needs, this camera is ALMOST perfect. VidGuy069

    This camera is very much on the small side, and purchased most for ease of use, but the recording quality is outstanding. Intuitive interfaces and a great product for the casual vacation user.

    Camera is very lightweight but has excellent battery life. For the cost of the camera it has everything I need for shooting sports/family events. The playback is very EZ to use even for a caveman...

    Extremely light (therefore very portable and useful) camcorder with easy controls. I was pleasantly surprised that it actually serves an independent purpose even when I always carry around my iPhone 6S plus.
