    This thing does awesome recordings for my sons ball team. We have a GoPro but it has no zoom. This thing has great zoom and perfect recordings. Very reasonably priced. A great camera for the price

    I bought this camera on a recommendation from a close friend for high quality video on a budget price. Now after using it for over 4 months I compare this camcorder to the $1,000+ comparables!

    It was Christmas and my old camera broke. I was looking for an inexpensive camera to get me through the season. I'll be using this camera for years to come. Has everything I need for the occasional use.

    I use it for recording my son's concerts and performances. So far the battery life has been good, and quality isn't bad at all. Serves the purpose I bought it for.

    Camera is light, portable, easy to use out the box but the picture is too grainy. OK for beginners or kids to play with.

    The weight of the camera is a positive thing it’s very light and easy to operate. However, when you use high magnification, you need most definitely to have it on a tripod because the slightest bit of shake will take everything out of focus.

      Hello PatrickYirka, Thank you for sharing your feedback. Although its great to hear you do like the ergonomics of ease of use of this camcorder, we're sorry to hear the stability at higher zoom range was not satisfactory. We appreciate your feedback as it will help us to keep improving future products and software. Thank you for choosing Sony. Sony's commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. -Linda 10-20-23 Sony Social Support Sony_US

    I needed something to record family events with the ability to zoom in close from distance. This got the job done. I didn’t need all the extra features. So for the price this is great

    good sound and recording quality, easy to use the only think I dislike is that battery doesn't stay charged for long and have to plug it while recording.

    We purchased this for our football team. They film their practices everyday and review the film at night. Helps everyone to improve. This unit is great for the price.

    We purchased the cameras for our children for Christmas, so they can record our grandsons. They have reported to us that they are great cameras for the price. You can always trust Sony.
