i love this cam and i take it everywhere i go. the picture quality is so good and everything about it is just fine. i dont see anything that make me think this is not a good cam. at the end its SONY so what do you expect... good luck alll

The product is what I expected and is a good tool for those that are interested in the video editing art.

We have owned several different camcorders over the years, but this is by far the best to date. Ease of use makes it fun to use. Sony seems to have listened to complaints over the years because this camcorder is quite intuitive to use. The menu driven system is quick and straight forward. Setup was a matter of minutes and we were filming. First we practiced around the house to make sure we understood how everything worked and then we mounted it in an underwater housing and took it underwater.. The footage is great with battery life to spare. Usually battery life is a problem with most camcorders in housings, but not this one. We have used the included memory sticks and found that they are great for getting video and pictures transferred quickly to the computer. The filters are also great for fixing lighting problems. The tripod has aldo been very handy for shooting ourselves in those special places in the world. It has been a very good deal for us.
