1080p 60fps AvCHD. Great zoom. Super-compact with a hidden compartment for the spare battery. What else could one ask for on a 225$ budget?

After comparing several other camcorders in the same price range and they all basically function the same. The picture is good but the sound is just so,so. Simply to use but wish it was a touch screen to make selecting functions a little easier.

This is a good camera for the price... unfortunately for what we are using it for it's controls are in bad locations. We are using this camera to stream church services. but the mini hdmi connector can only be accessed by opening the screen, and then opening a door. which means we cannot leave it connected all the time. The zoom controls are great if you are holding this in your hand... less so if it's on a tripod... picture quality is great and overall it's a great camera... just hard to work with in our usage

Purchased this camera to replace an old '90s cassette video recorder. The Sony is 1/4 the size of our old camera and very much lighter so it is easier to hold. Stability feature is great. Runs using a mini San disk as opposed to the old camera''s cassette so it is much easier to transfer to a dvd through our computer. Great price too.

Very happy with this little camcorder! Fits smaller hands comfortably, attaches straight into a USB port to download and edit, no wifi needed. Video is sharp and clear. Have been recording grandkid basketball games, and looking forward to ease of filming highlights of our next cruise.

It works exactly as it says, records continuously, and in 2 formats if you need it. I needed this to record at least an hour with no breaks and it was a champ! Battery life is great. I am super happy I bought this and from best buy too, because they were able to answer my questions about it - which lead to its stellar performance when I needed it most.

This camcorder is great! It's very user friendly and the quality is wonderful, the size of this camcorder is great for us as we love to take it with us on vacations, road trips and family gatherings. We haven't down loaded to the computer yet but I'm confident it won't difficult. So happy with this purchase.

Bought this for 199 on sale. The camcorder is easy to use and on screen menus are intuitive. The battery lasts about 3 hours with stop/start usage. Wish the lens cover would automatically close and open when the camcorder is turned off/on. Overall good value for price.
