Okay
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Camera is easy to use, but was disappointed that I had to use a SD card before it would function. States that there is internal memory, but won't work until you insert a SD card.

Good camera for starters
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its a good camera. Could be a bit more less expensive as some of the features listed dont work like to auto correct for blurr. No you are in blur until you move out of a high energy area.

Good for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good value for the price. It was kind of shaky on the cheaper stand so i would suggest getting a good stand. Doesn't have a mic plug in either.
I would recommend this to a friendGood replacement camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this camera to replace my old Sony DVC camera. The camera is very light compared to my old camera. It's nice to have the USB charger on the camera instead of having the hassle of the charging cord and brick.
I would recommend this to a friendThis camera does everything i want.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I chose this camera because it was in the $250-$300 range and because it's a Sony. This camera has all the features I wanted and more. The software program that comes with it is impressive too. I'm very happy with this purchase.
