    This camcorder is easy to use and very light weight. The only drawback is you need to manually open and shut the shutter.

    Purchased the Sony Handycam to do quick videos. Easy to use. Wish it had a built in hard drive but does not. Must use a card. Mini at that. Does the job.

    We bought this to take film of my son's soccer games and for the money you cannot beat the value for what we bought it for. The picture quality and ease of operation are big pluses.

    Daylight video is very good, I took it to a wedding and dark scenes are not good. I real reason I bought this was this camcorder used the same battery as Sony action camcorder HDR-AS50 I own. It doesn’t have WiFi or Bluetooth connection nor built in storage. But it has extra battery storage compartment, check YouTube video for how to remove the cover. Sony could have made it 2 batteries connected, so that it will last 2 times longer. No touch screen, but I’m fine with joystick it came with.
