Great camera for beginners
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Sony is a good basic camera if you’re just playing around just not for vlogging or you tube
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Newest entry level non projection model
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great little camcorder. No projection. And it uses rhe smaller battery pack vs the cx-330 or the cx-440 as it is called now. But overall a great little camcorder if you can catch one on sale!

Great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this camera as a gift for my son and he loves it. The only thing he doesn’t like is at full zoom the quality isn’t the greatest.
I would recommend this to a friendEnded up returning the item
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The camera I came to the store to purchase was out of stock. An associate told me that this was a comparable item that would do all of the things the other camera was capable of doing (specifically, we were looking for an entry level camera for streaming). This camera is not a equal to the one we came to purchase and was returned so we could purchase the correct camera from another source.
