Not familiar with shooting movies or editing and was asked to shoot a friends wedding. After some practice I created a pretty decent movie. The camera shined in its picture quality and, in time, I'll be shining too. Great equipment inspires me!
I'm not impressed with the automatic audio level feature. It allowed the audio to clip during a school play. Also, I lose a few frames of audio at the end of each clip. This is a problem that should have been solved years ago. Need to do better Sony.
the cam should come with a rubber cap to avoid dust crossing the "shutter" when kept in a vest or jacket pocket in the field, and a lens sunshade would be welcome.
I bought this Cam, which comes with extra batteries, but has no standalone battery charger. I have to keep the camera out of it's case to charge a battery. That was the first thing that I did not care for. The second thing though is that their PM Memories Home will NOT install on a state of the art Windows computer with everything updated. Just playing with recording 4k with audio, and the audio is terrible. Not a happy owner so far. I need a standalone battery charger, PMmemories that works, and audio that you can understand before I will be happy with the picture.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I just purchased thie camcorder and was going to go out today and try it out, however,it has turned into a rain day, so possibly tomorrow. I did a lot of research and selected this camera due to the many reviews. I have used it in the house and impressed with the quality and sound.
