For the occasional shooter who doesn't need a whole lot of features and cost, this is an easy to use, competent little recorder. Convenient built-in USB connector makes this easy to charge and download to your PC. Great value.

This handycam can be a good beginner camera.. It performs average in low light but has a very good zoom capability. Definitely worth the money.

Bought this for my son who has interest in making videos for a YouTube channel. Easy to use, easy for him to figure out. Like having the USB connection cable built in. Software takes a little while to figure out, but not too difficult.

We have a dozen training programs coming up for work and needed a easy to use versatile camcorder and after checking reviews on line we chose this Sony Handycam. This was a great choice and is easy to use, has 8 hours or record time with a 128 Gb micro chip.

Small lightweight camera that gives you movies and stills. Even the wife can operate it.
Only drawback is the small joystick type button.

I got the camcorder about three years ago. Initially I was using it weekly, now just occasionally. It's worked good and I've never had any problems with it. The higher end ones have more fancy features but this one is fine for my needs.

Easy to use, very small and light. I bought it for a friend and she didn't like the video quality but I think is fine for the price. Still she wants to return it
