I'm not a beginer but wanted an inexpensive camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Still getting used to the video camera. The one feature that I do like is that you don't have to flip a switch to go from video to pictures, you just press a button. Haven't figured out how to view videos yet.

Great camera, easy to use.

Ease of use was excellent did not have to worry about any difficulty for others to use either. Had great time and enjoyed family without worrying about having to use a difficult camera.

Nice and compact
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This little camcorder was a replacement from a Nikon digital camera and from what my daughter use it for, it's 5 times better. Also we were able to capture her graduation ceremony with it and I must say it has great video quality! We're satisfied.....

Great entry level camcorder
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Needed a basic camcorder to record in HD. Performs very well. Easy to use. Each format uploads easily with supplied USB cord. This is the second camcorder of this model I have owned. Other broke due to a fall while attached to a tripod.

excellent camcorder
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is used for at least one hour of recording time and i can say the battery does last without having to be plugged in. you will however need to buy a camera stand if needed since it doesn't fit most. However, good value buy

Does everything I ask it to do!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price this video camera can't be beat. I am a professional photographer on a fishing boat. It does everything I ask it to do. The editing materials that come with the camera are lousy. SONY Movie Studio is much better.

Nice camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very nice camera. Easy to use. Not the best camera quality but that’s expected with a camera of this price range. It’s a 1080p camera.

Good for a beginner, but not major projects
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This camcorder works fine for the price I paid for it (I happened to get it on sale). But if you're hoping to get better sound quality, probably look elsewhere. This camcorder picks up pretty okay sound, but it doesn't allow for a mic input to get better sound. If you're hoping to use this a relatively cheap option to really start a focus on videos, I really recommend getting another camera. Otherwise, for family events or as a gift to an aspiring artist, this is a great option.
