Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Not as responsive as you would like it to be, the navigation could use a touchscreen but the image quality is good and for the price is an excellent deal,it is a sturdy little camera

So pleased with this purchase. It has amazing zoom and quality for both picture and sound. The colors are so vivid! Undeniable it's an HS camera. Couldn't have bought a better Christmas present for my Dad :)

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

Wanted a camcorder and camera that would be easy to operate and eady to make home videos of my grand son. It's a very nice. My husband enjoys it. We had an issue with the order but Best Buys offered second to none service and had the issued resolved and the product in my hands that afternoon. Great Product and outstanding service.

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.

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?

Great picture quality and very easy to use, great wide screen recording and pictures.

Simple easy camera for anyone to use. Good quality video. Great for recreational use!

I Love this camera!! The quality is really nice and very easy to use! Totally recommend!!

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.

Use this for recording services. Very clear sound and clean clear view. Easy to use

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.

This is an excellent camcorder for the price. The zoom is great and it takes good videos even at dusk. With the cord included, it's easy to instantly watch the video you just took by hooking it up to the TV.

Light weight, easy to use, it’s great for people who don’t know anything about camcorders

I was looking for something compact & affordable. This hit the nail on the head I was of course debating on getting something better but at the time I had no money. I've had this camera for about 2 months now & I've recorded my b-day celebration, my cousin's graduation, & a couple of vlogs. This camcorder is awesome! I don't know much about camcorder tech but from whatever I can learn from this one I will pass on knowledge to future buyers. This camera is small & discrete & can fit in cargo shorts or straight fit jeans. Very accessible the boot up time is almost non-existent. It gives plenty of recording options the settings are easy to toggle through my only complaint would be a bigger & more sturdy navigation toggle button I have small but beefy hands & it's not an issue for me to go through the settings it just feel better if it was bigger & more sturdy as well.

Bought this camera specifically for filming soccer games - it has worked perfectly. It is lightweight and easy to use. Very happy with it and would recommend to others.

My camcorder stopped working this fall and I wanted something for Christmas programs and gift opening. This is very small and very easy to use. I'm not sure I like having to put everything on a SD card. I'm not sure what I'm going to do for playback. But overall a good value for the cost.

Good camcorder at a decent price. Easy to use and super compact. Only downside was it doesnt cone with a SD card which you need to start using it. Other than that its good.
