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.

Easy to operate. Works well in low light.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy operation with a little practice. Very good sound. I have used it to record live karaoke shows. I am very impressed with the audio and video quality. I wish it had a headphone jack. Great buy for about $200.

Good for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ok so this is not 4K Nd far from the best value but for under two hundred dollars you can make it work well. I bought several items to improve the audio since you can’t hook a mic to it. You can hook it up to a 15ft micro usb to allow for tripod usage with out using the battery. When you buy this do yourself the favor and buy the Sony charger and extra battery also buy no greater than 64 gigs byte cars because anything bigger does not work. Again if you are recoding in HD beware 74gig card is the biggest l.

Solid, if nitpicky
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Solid camera, only downside is the memory card being a bit confusing. I also am not a total fan of there being no ‘on’ switch/button, just open the door and hope it doesn’t go to sleep in the meantime. This was a gift for a parent who is not super tech savvy and it fit the bill.

Great compact lightweight camcorder
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this as a gift for my daughter. She wanted a lightweight camcorder for use in horse training, without the 'bells and whistles' of an action camcorder. Relatively inexpensive, and it does everything that she wants from it.

Great camera for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was surprised at all the features of this camera based on it's price. The 60x zoom is no joke either. I can literally read licence plates from over a block away. The files it makes are really easy to upload to my YouTube page also.
