    Good price. Good video and audio. BUT, camera is very difficult to use and ability to transfer files is so proprietary, I am uncertain how useful this product will be for me. Definite buyer’s remorse at this point.

    Its a very good Handycam except for 1 problem which was not mentioned in the description before i bought it. It cannot operate while it is connected to power. It can only operate from battery power. So while it has the capacity for over 13 hours of video, the battery limits it to about 45 minutes before stopping to recharge.
