Dependable little camcorder
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this camcorder for a student of mine in need of her own camera. I have bought two for myself so I knew this one would be good for her. The price was great. The quality of the video and audio were also good.

Easy to use
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The weight of the camera is a positive thing it’s very light and easy to operate. However, when you use high magnification, you need most definitely to have it on a tripod because the slightest bit of shake will take everything out of focus.

Easy to Use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This camera is easy to use. You don't have to have advanced computer skills to use.
