    For the price this video camera can't be beat. I am a professional photographer on a fishing boat. It does everything I ask it to do. The editing materials that come with the camera are lousy. SONY Movie Studio is much better.

    Lightweight, Handy, Less price. This is a good investment for novice video shooting. Recording in good light condition was good. Battery life is well to. The only thing which I found missing is touch screen.

    This camcorder works fine for the price I paid for it (I happened to get it on sale). But if you're hoping to get better sound quality, probably look elsewhere. This camcorder picks up pretty okay sound, but it doesn't allow for a mic input to get better sound. If you're hoping to use this a relatively cheap option to really start a focus on videos, I really recommend getting another camera. Otherwise, for family events or as a gift to an aspiring artist, this is a great option.

    Great camera for the price, good image quality and lots of automated functions. Not as good for advanced users or manual control. Video out is behind the lcd, which is also the on/off function, so the lcd is always on.

    This was actually a gift for my son and his wife. He opened the box right away and started using it immediately. He seemed very happy and comfortable using it but so far,so good.

    Purchased this video camera to use with our newborn to capture all the "firsts". We are very pleased with how easy it is to use and hook up to the TV to show family and friends! We are non professionals! Would highly recommend.

    I wanted to capture some Christmas footage discreetly and positioned it on a tripod hidden between poinsettia's it was amazing. Great picture quality and sound. The 30 minutes it recorded that morning was worth the cost alone.

    As my first video camera, it is rather easy to operate. While very lightweight, I worry how easily it may break as seems to be made of thin plastic.

    I bought this camera to set up at my son's games on the days I cannot make it. Now days we rely on our phones for video more than a camcorder, but after seeing the quality of the image I have started using this camera at more family events.

    My stepdaughter is super happy with this cam. We took turns recording her wedding with it and the videos looks incredible! I made her smile on Christmas and was able to record her smiling again on her wedding day, outstanding. Thank you Sony!

    Immediately I love the size of this camera. It’s nice and compact and fits nicely in your hand. I really like the highlight feature that compiles your film clips and makes a little “highlight reel” of the things you filmed.

    I use it to film my sons soccer games and they look great. The battery last long enough for the game, but i have to make sure to charge it for the next one.

    This video camera exceeded my expectations at a very reasonable price. Video is clear and is well worth the investment. The still shots are also very clear! Then floor rep was also correct in his advice and didn't try to over sell us!

    This camera is very affordable. It's flimsy and light but does the job you just have to be careful. It's not for a professional but more on the "teen" experimenting and such. Can break easy if not careful - it's like a thin plastic material.
