  1. Markw

    This is my second cam corder Adam Suther one got destroyed by my dog, chewed the charging cable plug. Now I’m getting another one in the mail, although this is a good camcorder

  2. PatrickYirka

    The weight of the camera is a positive thing it’s very light and easy to operate. However, when you use high magnification, you need most definitely to have it on a tripod because the slightest bit of shake will take everything out of focus.

  3. AmberP

    Very small perfect for your hand and to take on the go battery last long

  4. Joecar

    Been using it for several football games since purchasing it. Great camera, it was worth it

  5. Beck

    The handycam was fine. It was an open box purchase and i see why. The battery was replaced with an old one. The battery it came with lasted less than 2 hours and would not recharge. Had to buy a new one. Shame on whoever returned this.

  6. Jnn4150

    Great camera, can’t find the off/on button.. good value

  7. Coach72

    a birthday gift for a Grandaughter. Well received – directions easy to follow – results good.

  8. RoseM

    Lightweight and easy to hold. Easy to adjust.
    Picture quality good. And the cost was reasonable.

  9. JoeT

    Purchased this as an Open Box item from Murrieta, CA Best Buy, listed as in Excellenet condition with no missing pieces. Except it was missing a cord. Left VM for store to call me back to fix issue. They never called. Also texted for help on the app and called in to corporate. Spent approx 5 hours of my time and didnt get the missing piece or the free items that were supposed to be included. Best Buy Murrieta didn’t care. Returned it.

  10. LGdishwash

    Lightweight, small and very good quality build overall! I’ve been very happy with my new camera!

  11. MikeO

    Great camera for the price. Must have if you are looking for a camera

  12. PeterH

    Easy to make music videos that look like a studio quality job.

  13. Lundruf

    Did a lot of research to find a cheaper option to film my children’s multiple sports. This camera has worked extremely well to capture basketball, soccer and cross-country events in HD. I upload to iMac (iMovie), edit what I need to and then upload to Youtube. Ive had zero issues and have filmed over 25 events so far. Zoom capabilty is invredible.

  14. ByrdS

    I waited a month to review this product and am in love with it. I wish I would’ve purchased sooner to capture home videos for my daughter.

  15. JohnnyMonkey

    Great little camera with excellent zoom. Good stability and good playback experience.

  16. JoanneW

    Light weight, easy to use, it’s great for people who don’t know anything about camcorders

  17. cyclemama

    love this cam recorder. It’s light, good video, easy to use. Would recommend it this is what you would like to use. I keep it handy so it’s always close to catch the grandkids on video!

  18. Askio

    It is a good camera to start with, if you are looking into getting into videography.

  19. MitchellH

    Love it. Easy to use. A must have with you at all times. Love the videos it takes.

  20. RubenP

    Sony has always had a great reputation. A great product that is easy to use!

  21. EdRev

    My delivery was stolen from my apartment building and so I never got to try the camera, but I’m sure its fantastic. Great for people who don’t want extra tech like Wi-Fi.

  22. RonaldianA

    Small but mighty. Very reliable. Easy to transfer to computer due to attached USB.

  23. Daniel

    Good to use for travel and personal use. Easy to operate as well.

  24. Unknown

    Works And is what I looking for my record videos all hood

  25. LaptopUser

    My middle school son loves this. Easy to use. He records sporting events, vacation scenery, and home videos. Works great.

  26. lori

    excellent picture. does not stream sound straight to tv

  27. Unknown

    Great value, exactly what we needed for the project we are working on.

  28. JohnpaulD

    Great although it is old. It brings back memories before Cellphone cameras today

  29. AmandaR

    Love this recorder! Light and easy to carry when traveling.

  30. KateC

    Solid camera, only downside is the memory card being a bit confusing. I also am not a total fan of there being no ‘on’ switch/button, just open the door and hope it doesn’t go to sleep in the meantime. This was a gift for a parent who is not super tech savvy and it fit the bill.

  31. Glenerich

    I like it so far. After a month and half, video quality is good enough for me to record my son’s basketball games. Wish it accepted larger memory cards. The camera does everything I need it to.

  32. JamieT

    Perfect for capturing family memories instead of always using my phone

  33. ChillPhoto

    This is by no means a professional video camera but it is super portable and fun to use. Great for capturing memories and solid for the price.

  34. JimmyW

    Great camera bought for Christmas. Great price. Lol

  35. JoshuaL

    Simple easy camera for anyone to use. Good quality video. Great for recreational use!

  36. HebermA

    Excellent device, no regrets, and the customer service best of the best.

  37. RUBMONT

    This little camera offers a lot of features, even it looks the same for many years, what surprised me is the zoom of the camera and image quality for the price and brand is amazing

  38. useful

    Early to comment on it …just one day ago… let’s see how it goes….

  39. sugarbear

    I originally got one that was “out of box”. That camera did not focus good. I went back and got a new camera, and I am very satisfied with this one. It has great focus and good quality pictures.

  40. JohnJ

    Bought 3 of them…. One for each of my kids and their families …. They love it!

  41. FernandoN

    I love it! I got this camcorder to record my girlfriend’s pregnancy and our daughter’s milestones, and everyday life. Quality is great both audio and video. The flippable screen is a huge plus when I want to set the camera away and record all three of us. 10/10 would buy again!

  42. BlackDragonMedia

    Excellent camera with an excellent price. Great for people on the go.

  43. Geo5

    Love the vibe of this camera. Love that people tend to shy away from phones but with this camera people gravitate towards it.

  44. Angie

    The function button on it is very small. My hands are small , I can barely make it do what I want , there’s no way my husband could . Angie

  45. GMan

    Ordered thru the National customer service. Great customer service, great product, purchased to protect my daughter’s cx camcorder. Both great products!

  46. Moviebuff

    Our Granddaughter loved it!! She used it continuously over the Holiday Break.

  47. NatushaH

    This item was purchased for a Christmas gift for my dad. He had mentioned want to make more videos for memories around the holidays. The camera has taken him a little longer to get used to than I would like. It was not as user friendly for older people and it is much smaller than he was expecting. The playback is very nice. Hopefully by Memorial Day he’ll have it down packed.

  48. YvetteC

    The handcam purchased measured up to my expectations. Best Buy customer service was outstanding. Product availability was not an issue.

  49. JooseProductionz

    I love the size and the ease of use of this product.

  50. dowj

    Very nice affordable camcorder. Had help setting it up at the service desk cuz I dum. 🙂
