    I have the older camcorder. This new model is a lot better in the zoom in and the quality of the photos you take!

    So far so good. Used it for kids concerts and sport events. You need a tripod if you are shooting from long distance. Good battery .. changed it once and used it multiple times without a recharge.

    It takes the best picture for going on vacations. The only problem I have with it is that it is bulky to be carrying around. My phone takea good-enoigh pictures, but not as good. For everything, there are strong and weak points. That's how I aaw it after owning one.

    Easy to Use, Light weight, Good results indoors and out doors, Good battery life and with 64 gig memory you get about 45 min. of use. Great for the person who wants to take family video. Not good for the semi pro.

    A bit cheaply built and not too heavy but the recording quality is definitely great. When the settings are maxed out and when you learn about the way formats work it definitely turns out to be a great camcorder. Great for YouTube.

    Sony does it again with it's entry level camcorders. It has what you need and with a decent zoom. Nothing too much here for the price you pay but it's decent for shooting family trips and memories.

    It is a nice little inexpensive camera. So far, it has worked well for everyday activities. It feels a bit cheap/light/plastic, but until it is dropped, its durability is in question.

    The camera has no ability to attach a sun screen filter. The night shooting ability is limited. It is easy to operate and gives good quality videos for the price.

    I loved the zoom and stability of the camera. I tried other models in store and found that in full zoom, the Sony had the best stability even when I shook my hand a bit.

    My son & his friends take it out on his trampoline and video themselves doing misc tricks, etc. My son says that he likes everything about the camera. It takes very nice videos and he can transfer them to his laptop for everyone to watch.

    Pros: Easy to use, simple menus. Clean HDMI 1080p Out to the video switcher. Use 4 of these Sony camcorders for live-streaming at our house of worship to capture various angles. Cons: No power switch.
