    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    We bought this lssy year for my 10yo daughter as she was wanting to create her own stop motion films. The camera was very easy for her to use and she absolutely loves it! Nearly a year later and shes a pro and no complaints from this mama!

    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.

    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.

    We got this for our 11 year old daughter for Christmas. She opened the box, inserted the memory card and got it up and running right away. No problems whatsoever - and she has never had or operated a camcorder before. She loves it - makes all kinds of videos with it. And the price was right!

    This was a great camcorder for us. We are starting a family soon and wanted to make home videos instead of always taking videos on our phones and never having all the videos in the same place and easy to play back on a tv in the future. Would recommend!

    Bought this for the upcoming hunting season so I have not used it in the field yet however I did take it on vacation and it works great. Price was right and I like the zoom and the SD card rather than the old ways. Easy to edit and erase. I did order a few extra batteries.

    It is very compact and easy to use. I bought this one as a Christmas gift to my daughter and son-in-law to film my new granddaughter. I already had one my Dad gave me. I would recommend it to someone wanting something they could carry easily.

    This camera is easy to use, pretty straight forward controls, and starts up fast. The attached USB cord is a nice idea, but doesn't seem like it will hold up for that long. It's short and a seems a bit cheap. Overall I'm happy with the camera for the price I paid.

    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.

    Bought this camera for my teenage daughter for Christmas. She wanted to video herself riding her horse to look for ways to improve her riding form and her horse's performance as well. Easy to setup and use. Turned out to be her favorite gift.
