After watching my 14 year old nephew figure this camera out in a second, I thought “I can work this camcorder” and mostly I have-though have not done anything but record (no uploading or such things). It’s a nice and simple to use machine.

I just bought this camera to replace my old Hitachi camcorder and this camera is awesome. The video quality is great the sound is excellent and it is Mac compatible for those who may be wondering it will work on imovie. But this camera is lightweight and the discs do not need to be finalized before you put them in a dvd player or import them to a computer, you just hook up the usb cord and import the video quick and easy. It does come with it’s own software that is only compatible with windows which I dont have so I dont know if its any good.
But so far I am very pleased with this camera perfect for anyone who loves to film themselves and edit the footage. Really good buy for a great price.

This camcorder was a present for my husband. It was a second try–I had ordered another make camcorder for him previously. He is not the most technologically-savvy guy–and it was not the product for him. The Sony Handycam was a lifesaver! It’s easy to understand and easy to use. He loves it and that’s the most important thing to me.

Wonderful product. I just got my new cam-corder about 6-months ago and I love it. Makes great movies and is so easy to use. I highly recommend if you want good quality for your money.

I found this camcorder to meet my expectations. The 60x zoom is good and the quality is very good. The digital zoom to 2000 is like all digital zooms – not great. It is easy to switch between DVD recording and Memory Stick recording. The still photo quality requires a steady hand and is not good when zooming in. The audio quality is good. Low light is good. Color quality is good. I’m satisfied with it.

My wife and I purchased this camcorder just before our trip to Hawaii and took it with us. We love it. It worked very well and is pretty easy to use. The set-up takes a little while and you do have to use the handbook provided to get through it. We would recommend getting a second battery as a back-up when you want to do a lot of recording at one time. It is compact and light-weight and also takes still photos. Having the disc and the flash drive in one camera is fantastic! We totally recommend buying this camcorder, and have found out that Sony makes excellent products and uses cutting edge technology. thanks, Cindy and Larry

This camera does a great job of capturing video immages. While there is a lot to learn with all the functions it has, and the accessories like memmory stick can cost a bit. The qualuty of the images you get and the software supplied is fairly easy to use once you use it a few times. You can spend more and get a camera with more functions, but why would you want to?

We love to cruise and I wanted something to capture the experience, without have any computer skills to speak of…
I wanted something to just record and play on the DVD and this was great. Very simple to use, just record and play in the DVD player. Excellent picture and sound!
I also bought the case and extra Sony DVD’s, again excellent!

This video camera is exactly what I was looking for. I am not someone who is good with gadgets and technology. I wanted a camcorder that would be easy to use, and easy to play back my videos. I didn’t even need to read the directions to figure this one out. You put the mini-DVD in, press record, and you’re good to go. Then when you want to play it, you just eject the mini-DVD and play it right in your DVD player. My #1 consideration in purchasing a camera was that I could easily record my family and then just as easily share the videos with others. I wouldn’t know anything about editing software or special features, but for us, this camera is perfect. The picture quality is also very good, and the camera is small and easy to carry around.
