SONY continues to set the bar.

Great bang for your buck!!!

I got this camcorder to record my girlfriend’s pregnancy and our daughter’s milestones, and everyday life. Quality is great both audio and video. The flippable screen is a huge plus when I want to set the camera away and record all three of us. 10/10 would buy again!

Quality for value
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good quality picture and easy to use. Manual shutter, so you have to open it to shoot. Charges through USB cable. Good battery life for being so small. Replacement batteries are only about $15, so you can have a spare or two. N

Great Video Camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This camera takes great video and is very easy to use. Learning curve is very low so just about anyone can use it. Purchased to use for time studies. Only wish that it would hold the date, time and the timer on the screen during playback.

Love it
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think this cam is great. Keep in mind my last Handycam was a mini DV tape unit. The quality of recording is great. The image stabilizer and optical zoom are fantastic. It does feel like a toy, it's super light, but just be careful. Yes, as it gets darker out the Quality suffers, but thats normal, not this camera only. I don't use it after dusk, no biggie. Highly recommend for a general use camera.

Little but big
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A very good purchase for my video needs and budget. My first vc in 15 years, very impressed with the digital zoom. It is not 5 stars cuz the battery life is too short and when trying to use an external battery it only works to playback but not for recording. I would have to buy a second battery pack and is an extra expense I didn't want to do. Cool pro is that one can record max quality and at the same time recorder will keep a streaming size and quality backup video.
