I would recommend this to a friendAfter a few days, the color shows blue
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It worked well initially, but then after a few days, everything looks blueish. Color capture seems to have gone wrong. Very poor quality. Rest all works good. Trying to get through customer service, but no luck so far. Possibly COVID-19 disruptions, so am following up patiently.

Posted .Hello DeepBlue, I'm sorry to hear about your issue, here are a few things to try:
- Verify that your white balance is set to auto or on the appropriate one: Menu > Camera/Mic > Manual Settings > White Balance
- Verify that you selected auto scene or the appropriate one as well: Menu > Camera/Mic > Camera Settings > Scene Selection
- If the previous two are correctly set and you still have that blue tint, try resetting the camera by doing the following: Menu > Setup > General Settings > Initialize > Ok
If you are still experiencing the issue, feel free to contact us at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US#di

Posted .hi Honeypoo, we're saddened to hear that the camcorder didn't meet your needs. This model can do live streaming through UStream. You can learn more about it at helpguide.sony.net/cam/1440/v1/en/index.html. Thanks_Mitch
Misleading
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As a camera it is adequate. But I bought it for streaming and the two free services it advertises (Facebook and Twitter) no longer let you stream. So the only other option is ustream which is crazy expensive!

||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing is like a kids toy. It’s all plastic, very small and weighs next to nothing, not to mention over priced.

The projector is great, video quality is nice
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is average during recording but the picture is really nice. Using the projector is fun but the menu screen takes a little time to navigate. It is very lightweight but not sure it would survive a hard drop. Haven't had a durability test and hopefully never will. Other than that I would buy it again and got it for $315.95 open box
I would recommend this to a friend - Pros mentioned:Projector
Less than 9 months and it's dead.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the HDR-PJ275 which is last years model that is very similar to this. I used it maybe 5 hours max in the 9 months that I had it and for no reason at all, the camera is dead when I go to use it after about a month of sitting. I bought a new battery and a charger to make sure it wasn't the battery and sure enough the camera is dead. I never dropped it and barely used it really. Most of the few hours I used it were spent using the projector. I know it is within warranty but it is a serious hassle and after shipping and labor it may not even be worth the time. I think a new camera should last more than 4 or 5 hours use in 9 months.

Great light weight camcorder
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This camcorder is light weight and easy to handle. Works great and nice not having to worry about running out of tape. Takes great vidoes.
I would recommend this to a friend - Pros mentioned:Projector
excellent video and projector
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this to videotape sports events primarily that could be replayed easily....does the job perfectly. The projector is great and makes it so easy to replay what we recorded without any hassle or time consuming video/file transfer.
I would recommend this to a friend Great value for price
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent, lightweight camera. Takes very good videos and functions seem to work as described. Two minor issues are battery life is short. I record my kids sporting events and two hours run time seems to be the average on full charge. Had to buy extra batteries. Other issue is I wish the recording feature had a "pause" button so the video stores on one continuous file. I only have the "stop" button and this separates the video into a file every time. Minor stuff.
