    The handycam was fine. It was an open box purchase and i see why. The battery was replaced with an old one. The battery it came with lasted less than 2 hours and would not recharge. Had to buy a new one. Shame on whoever returned this.

    This camera takes very good HD video with exceptional sound. It was slightly cheaper than the Cannon camcorder of the respectable size and Sony has always been a good brand (for me anyway).

    This camcorder is great!!! pop in an sd card go your off and recording. I had and older model touchscreen but someone stole it at Disneyland I know out of all places :( I had to go out a buy a new one. First a got a cannon camcorder salesman said it was the best it was more $, it make noise when you would zoom in and out and the picture quality was not the greatest so of course I brought it back and got a Sony the one I wanted. oboy you should follow your instincts I know Sony makes in great cameras this is why I went back. This model Cost way less. I have no complaints other than don't listen to the salesperson Sony's number one.

    Great small camcorder, light weight but powerful. Takes sharp videos, the zoom is awesome, easy to use. Long lasting battery. The charger usb is hide on the strap pocket. I have to look a video to find it out how to charge it. You can charge it directly on the usb socket or plug it with an extension female usb cord.

    This camera will do in a pinch when you're on a tight budget. However, don't expect a lot if you don't want to be disappointed. This is as basic as it gets. The only real benefit is a reasonably decent image and clean HDMI output if you want it. We'll see how it holds up over time but I'm not holding my breath.

    It's really convenient to use this camera and not very expensive. The only part is that I can't use the power button effectively.

    Great for simple vacation videos. Not the best under low light conditions though. If you don’t want to spend more than a couple hundred bucks go for it
