    Feel like it's 2005 again :) Works well, small enough to take on trips etc. Works great!

    Works perfectly for an amateur home video maker. I put some teaching videos up for our company and the picture and sound are great!

    This is a good no frills video camera for those people that are looking for an easy use camera. Open the display, press the record button and your recording.

    The camcorder is nice size, and light, so easily fits in any purse. However I was surprised how flimsy it felt, and trying to use the menu is very cumbersome. I'm considering returning it.

    For the price you can't beat it. Not a ton of bells and whistles, but does what it is supposed to do. Would have been better if it came with a memory card though

    This is nice and simple camcorder to use, nothing fancy, but gets the job done. I use it primarily to record basketball games.

    With being a mom to four kids, we need a small handy camcorder to record their daily fun. This was a replacement to my Samsung camcorder which was my companion for about 3 years.

    Good camera for the price. Very light weight. Right now iMovie is not recognizing the camera when I connected it via the usb cord so I can't give it 5 stars.

    Having never operated a cam corder before I was very sceptic. This is very easy to use and has a short learning curve for new users.
