Beware of open box purchases.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The handycam was fine. It was an open box purchase and i see why. The battery was replaced with an old one. The battery it came with lasted less than 2 hours and would not recharge. Had to buy a new one. Shame on whoever returned this.
