What's great about it: The steady while walking, Projection and ease of use
What's not so great: have not found it yet
This was great for Christmas. We were able to play back all the days events and reactions immediately after presents were open. It was so easy to use and focus. I didn't even read the manual and had it figured it out in under 5 minutes.

What's great about it: Size, ease of use
What's not so great: lack of flash or light
I really like this camera however I would like it to have a flash for pictures or light for low light video. The projector feature is really cool. You can review videos anytime.

What's great about it: Size, performance, menu controls
What's not so great: No internal video light
This is a great little camcorder for the casual user. It's small enough to fit in a large pocket #I had a competitive model that required a camera bag to lug around and along with my digital camera gear, that got old.#, it has great color, sharpness, and autofocus. The menus are simple and intuitive without a lot of digging to get to the desired settings. The touch screen is great in this regard., especially for the selective focus option that tracks the subject while panning. The slow mottion & golf shot options are nice features to have in-camera #versus post-capture software editing#. The battery holds its charge fairly well & recharges relatively quickly, but I purchased a spare just in case.
At first, the projector seemed like a novelty, but it's truly a useful feature for immediate playback #parties, gatherings, etc.# since the user doesn't need a laptop, TV or DVD burner; just a flat white surface.
The only reason I rated the model a four-out-of-five is the lack of an internal light. I've used other camcorders with better low light response. For the price, I would think that inclusion of an on-board light isn't asking a lot. Even the HDR-PJ30 #the next model in the series# only features a built-in flash for stills. If I need a flash for still photography, I'll switch to one of my digital cameras. However, with all that said most users will probably be shooting outdoors in daylight or indoors with adequate lighting. The AWB does a good job on automatic and the user still has the option of sunlight, tingsten or white card manual set.
Overall, this is a LOT of camcorder for the money and, as stated above, one you'll probably have with you when you want it.
Two recommendations: Purchase the auxiliary wide angle and telephoto attachments. They're small and prove to be VERY useful, especially the wide angle. Also, the potential buyer may want to consider the UV Haze or Neutral Density filter for the front of the camera #37mm, NOT the 30mm in the Sony literature#. There's a polycarbonate leaf lens protector that opens and closes automatically, but for ~$10.00 it's cheap insurance to protect the front element. If you get the wide and tele attachments though, you have to remove the filter.

What's great about it: Easy to set up and use, great quality video
What's not so great: Just the price, would be nice a little lower
Wow! I absolutely love this camera!!! It's super easy to use, can take video on standard or High Definition, easy to transfer files to computer, can watch videos and pictures on TV, computer or even on the wall with the projector feature (btw we love this feature), we were watching videos on the ceiling last night!! my old camcorder was so old and outdated that I stoped using it and have lost many precious moments, children are growing up and my only regret is that I waited too long to get a new camera, bought the 3 years extra warranty protection because I'm planning on taking it with us everywhere we go, it's small and portable, did I say that I love it??? I'm a 43 year old mother and was very easy for me to install software, shoot video and transfer files to computer, If I can do it anyone can.

What's great about it: light and easy to use
What's not so great: not great at night but not bad
i have had sony cameras for years love this one by far no more tapes that i never convert or save just plug into pc with software and save to hard drive my only negative toward this camera would be no light and no ability to add one but then again on my old camera even with light you could only see right in front of you. easy to use and i love the projector fun to watch with the kids and if you dont like it you could still hook up to tv and watch. Light easy to carry

What's great about it: The projector is the attraction but the Sony name means quality to me
What's not so great: The price is a little steep.
I completed my first video and I was excited to see my video on the computer. I put the program disk in my HP Vista-64 Bit and it spun and spun. I found out it doesn't run on the 64-bit computer but I could download from the Sony website. I tried my MAC laptop and found that it is not compatible with the Apple computers but I could download that from Sony. Next time I am told there are no problems with any computer I am going to look a little harder at the products.
Once I connected the camera it was easy and I like what I saw. Next challenge is to make the video for viewing.

What's great about it: Most everything, projector very cool to have
What's not so great: Menu, still taking time to learn...
This camera is small and light, but takes great video. I was hesitant about the 3.3 mega pixel pictures, but very impressed with the results. Very happy with 30 x's zoom with no shaking. The most fun I had with the camera was a day of rock climbing, then everyone gathering later that night to watch the videos and pictures projected on a tent!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Image stabilization and HD color
What's not so great: Slow data transfer rate with built-in memory
I've always thought the bigger camcorders offered more: more options, more stability, more quality. I have been proven wrong with this one. The image stability is what really sold me on the HDR-PJ10. Even at maximum zoom, there is very little image shake. The colors are vibrant and the high definition is obvious. The one feature I was not at all interested in getting was the projection function. I thought I would have no use for it -- I was wrong. I've used the projector function immediately after every scene I've recorded! The only problem I have sometimes is finding a suitable surface on which to project the image (I have taken to lying on my back and projecting it on the ceiling). The camcorder is also small and light enough for me to carry around in my pants pocket. The only thing I have found to be an annoyance is the slow data transfer rate using the USB cable. Since the 16GB is internal to the camera, the USB is the only option to copy the videos off to a computer. There is an expansion slot for additional memory so I wil probably go out and get an extra SD card and just move the card back and forth from now on.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: the excellent pircutre quality and features like project mode.
What's not so great: if price would have reduced by $100.00 wuld be more benifitable.
The Sony-PJ10 is having excellent picture quality and is very easy to handle it and also light weight .I have brought one more extra battery for safeside if i had to use this for any of my family members marriage or functions.The projecter feature is good.
One should go for this product.
One should go for this product.
Small suggestion to sony through best buy is that if sony company can reduce the price by $100.00 of offer some coupons that would have been more advantage and will definitely grow the sales of this product by more number with its added advantage of the quality and the features it is offering.
I would recommend this to a friend!
