    Purchased this for husband to take to college lectures. He always sits pretty close but sometimes could not keep up with the professor. This camera catches the entire lecture so my husband can go back and complete his notes. It is very clear audio and video is amazing even in the low light of the classroom environment. Just make sure you clear it with your professor because some do not like being taped. The camera is small enough to fit in backpack or tote. Had to purchase extra battery just in case the one it came with ran out, but so far husband has not had to use it. It is is easy to turn off and on as needed during the lectures which saves battery time. Remember Best Buy has an excellent return policy if you don't like it. The reviews on this camera are excellent on the web and Consumer Reports.

    Good size, very, very light almost cheap feel, but powerful camera. I've used an older model for around 10+ years and the advancements of design, components and hardware is very noticeable with this unit. It's remarkable how much lighter it is. I've never been a fan of the location of the USB cable in the handle strap. it has a weak point that wears with time and really deserves a better more considerate placement. One star off for that, but for the most part most consumers will be very pleased. An excellent home video camera for family films, travel and special events.

    Very light and easy to use. The no touch screen was an issue to get used to but the quality of the images is good for the price. The memory card slot was a slight issue when inserting. Have to get it just right for it to recognize. If you are looking for simple inexpensive camera that gets the job done, this is the one.

    I bought this for my dad to record the grandkids sporting events so it hasn't been used for that quite yet. I messed around with it and then showed him how to use the basic functions and it is easy to use and the picture is really good even when zoomed in all the way. I sort of miss the old view finder windows which were easier to follow something but that's pretty much long gone these days. Over all the recordings are easy, and even my dad seems to have the hang of it. We recorded a few cars passing by from a distance to emulate kids playing football from a distance and the images were very good. I would buy this again as it is really good at this price point.

    I bought this to record my Daughter's volleyball games. It works great. easy to use and set up. Menu is a bit much, could be streamlined a bit or put things under another icon. Battery life was pretty good, It recorded 2 full volleyball games (4 total sets) I still had half power showing but I switched just to make sure I didn't have to change batteries in the middle of a game. Video turned out amazing. I also used it to video some action shooting for a buddy of mine.

    Haven't had a handheld since the old shoulder vhs versions years ago, so was a little nervous. But it is so easy to use. Great picture and sound clarity.

    I shouldn't have been worried, now I know it was a waste of time. The camera works great, great images, movies, the anti shake works great.It is so light You don't know it's there, I carried it all day on my hand like it's not there. Great menu's to locate what you need on screen. the screen turns around so you can see it while shooting, yes my first selfie... truly wonderful product.

    Have a camera enthusiast in the family who needs their first camera, but don't want to spend a lot? This could be it. Small enough to fit in a pocket or purse, yet sophisticated enough to empress most audiences with its creations.

    The camera is easy to use and takes nice video. I was looking for a video camera that would also take decent pictures. This camera is simple to use and with a memory card takes a lot of video. The “joystick” is a little temperamental at times. Picks up background noise easily but it says it doesn’t have noise reduction. Overall, Great price. Nice quality.

    I purchased this camcorder to record my son's football and baseball games and I am so impressed with the quality of the videos for the price of the camcorder. The picture quality it extremely clear and vibrant and the sound is amazing! The size of this product is small and easy to carry around to the ballfields and other places to capture memories. Excellent purchase!!!

    Bought this camcorder to take movies of my newborn grandson. The quality exceeded my expectations, especially for the clearance price of less than $200!
