For an "older" model now this is a good camcorder. It is lightweight. It took me a while to figure out how to run it in that I had no manual. It has an internal hard drive and an external card. You can save to either one, you can save from one to the other. It's charging is unique in that there is a built in usb connection that lets you download movies and pics from the drives and also charge the battery. The menu is not a touch screen but you can maneuver easily through it with a toggle switch. For the right price it's a nice, inexpensive camcorder....

Before we evaluate this camera is worth a look for its price. It is hardly possible to present some very high demands on the camera that costs less than your average smartphone . The camera takes up less space than my Samsung NH11 with 18-55 mm lens (or less than the 50-200 mm lens :-)) , and it is much easier. I use only mode 1080 60p. Image quality in daylight is at quite a decent level. When shooting indoors quality begins to decline . In a well- lit room, the noise becomes noticeable when shooting in the shade or at the approach of dark subjects. However, for home video quality remains acceptable . The main disadvantage of the camera - a very poor microphone. To immediately get normal sound quality, the sound should be slightly above average. When recording in a room with a TV quietly working on the record clearly audible constant background noise , and the noise when zooming , the total volume of the track at the same time get high. To some extent, this problem is solved in the subsequent processing video, but sometimes you want to immediately see the footage . Access and navigate menus with a single button - joystick located next to the display . Given the fact that the screen displays the three customizable buttons for quick access to favorite functions , control is obtained quickly enough , even for those that need manual adjustments . While I personally would prefer that the joystick located on the camera body , since changing the settings during shooting is not very convenient. In general , however, the camera is fine with me . As a basic tool for capturing events I use digital photo camera , so I needed a small inexpensive camera to throw in pocket for a random shooting , usually in the open air , and no more. More exacting to quality of video, and especially a sound to users it is necessary to pay attention to more expensive models.Read full review
This camcorder is easy to use, easy to download; takes high quality video. You can take still shots from the videos, too, especially from outdoors event, that look like photos. Not only is it user friendly, it is also tough; stands up to dust and bumps. This is my second one of these!

The unit is very compact , took a little getting used to. I've only shot about two hours worth of video but so far so good. Comes with a HDMI cable so you can plug right into a Flat screen. Very sharp picture , fills up entire frame on a digital TV. The other supplied cable is a USB which you plug into your computer and charges the camera and also transfers your videos. Dowloaded the "making memories" software from the SONY SITE. Works well. The anti-shake camera steadying feature is a big plus. Different formats to play with. I converted one video shot in AVCHD to MPEG2 so I could load it to YOUTUBE. Quality was very good. Still exploring different options. Very good deal for the money
