    Have used this camera to take video of our family on vacation and it's worked great. Also enjoy the still picture capability.

    Recording church services

    Added this to our complement of cameras for recording church services. It's been easy to set up and pull down video for offline editing. This model doesn't support webcam usage, that's the next model up. The microphone's audio quality has been surprisingly good, but we use a high quality dedicated webcam with a different built-in microphone setup for live streams because that audio is superior

    This is a nice camcorder, however I decided to upgrade to the CX455 for some more features. This camera is really a good bargain when on sale.
