Doesn't Work Unless You Buy A Memory Card Separate
on March 20, 2021
Posted by: VeryVeryUnhappy

I can't rate the blasted thing, because it doesn't work as sold. It doesn't come with a memory card and it doesn't work without one. Now I have to figure out what card to buy and where, and what's an acceptable price. No warning of this anywhere in the marketing. Thought I was getting a working camcorder for the advertised price. Live and learn, I guess, but what an odd sales practice. If I ever order a car online, maybe it will be delivered without tires.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this a month ago for a trip overseas. Coukld not use the zoom featuyre because the video shook uncontrolably. Even when using a tripod. Sucks. Very upset because I relied on this to record important details and could only pan out to the widest to make is usable.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi JohnP123 ,
We apologize for the inconvenience. Did you use the SteadyShot feature to compensate for camera shake? Refer to this link for more details; http://helpguide.sony.net/cam/1440/v1/en/contents/TP0000557829.html.

Jen

I like it but how do you make it shoot 1080p videos
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi Blizzard,
The camcorder can only shoot in 1080p, but you can change the frame rate and image quality in which to record. Learn more about it through this link, http://helpguide.sony.net/cam/1440/v1/en/contents/TP0000557857.html.

View finder/screen is useless in bright sun for anything not close up. Rest of the camera is fine.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I took some videos and watched them on the camcorder. I downloaded play memories and connected the camcorder to my computer. It is a Toshiba using windows 7 ultimate. No communication. I tried everything I could think off, and nothing. I have a Sony SLRA200 and have no problems at all. What good is the camcorder if I can't download the videos.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi LarryO,
Please make sure that the camcorder is turned on to start USB connection. The LCD should display USB connected when connection is established. Please use the built in USB cord.

Tried getting a hold of someone for help. Good luck getting help. Their camcorders are horrible. I bought mine 2018 and it's ruined one of my SD card. Another old camcorder of theirs stopped taking cassettes. All of these contain memories of all of my dogs who died. NEVER BUY ANY SONY PRODUCT!!!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
