The video is very good for the size of the camera. Very glad I bought it. The photos are pretty good. I like being able to take photos when I am taking videos without stopping the video. The projector feature was a very nice surprise.
I really love this camcorder. It is small, easy to use, the menu is self-explanatory, and the video quality is great. It also has a projector feature which allows instant replay....all you need is a flat surface and some darkness to view your recordings, instead of havng to plug the camcorder into your TV, or place the video data on a flash drive, etc. I also like the toggle feature when navigating the menu and various functions, as opposed to the touch screen model. The toggle keeps the viewing screen clean.
I bought this camera for the sole purpose of a vacation I was taking with my sisters. It had been 8 for me and 17 years since my sisters and had seen. So I wanted as much video and pictures I could get. This camera documented just about The whole trip. I even took on a Harley ride along the Klamath River and the only I can say negative about this camera is I couldn't hear anything but the wind. But I love this camera and I'm glad I purchased it. Thank you Sony for making such a wonderful device.
Good camera but cannot be used for long shoots due to the short battery life. It needs the charge while you shoot capability the previous models had. A battery eliminator accessory would make this the perfect camera. I had the previous model that had the capability. Sony is the best!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi exodus,
Thanks for your feedback. You can use the camera even without charging the battery by plugging it in to a wall socket or a computer. To use it with your PC, enable the USB Power Supply in the Settings.
For the price, this is a nice, easy to use, small, light weight camcorder. But, picture quality (sharpness of recorded video) no matter the setting is less than desirable.
This is a nice small size for easy carting so far like it haven't tried it Yet to see how it records performances . Love the projection . Wish it had better pixels though .
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love the camera! But I wish it came with a controller. When playing videos on my tv, I'll have to get up everytime I want to skip a video or stop or play.
I would recommend this to a friend!
