I used a similar camera at work and wanted one for personal use. The camera was a great buy on ebay and cam with additional batteries.

So far so good. I have used it a few times and it is very easy to use. Love the instant on as soon as you open the display and off when you close it. Easy to transfer to my computer. Just hope that the touch screen lasts as this was the failure point of my old one. Not sure they have done much to improve that. Otherwise, all great improvements over the older tape versions.
This is the first handycam I have ever owned and I did extensive research before choosing this brand and model. I am so impressed at how smooth the action is - there is no shaking even when zooming in and the zoom makes no noise and it is very easy to operate in a slow, smooth action without the fast, erratic action that I had been fearing. The camera fits very comfortably into my hand when shooting a movie or taking photos: In fact the camcorder fits into an ordinary camera pouch along with its spare battery. The fact that you can be clicking still photos while in the middle of recording a movie is excellent - it is so easy that I accidentally took a heap of stills in my first movies without realising it. I don't think of this as a negative point because the more the merrier, in my opinion and I'm sure with more practice this can be avoided if desired. I didn't have to read the manual, which is a huge plus; I think every technological device should be self-explanatory just by fiddling around, and this one certainly is. The size of the LCD screen is a definite bonus and the camera looks very classy. I highly recommend the Sony HDR-CX260V for any parent like me who is purchasing a camera to record those special moments like dance concerts and birthdays.Read full review
Takes great HD video, easy to use and has automatic controlled lens cover, and auto on when you open the side screen. Also has a mic jack if you need one.

I bought this product mainly for videotaping in indoor lower light settings. The camcorder we purchased prior to this one leaves the recordings with a green tint when taping indoors in lower light, so we were looking for better quality low light filming. This vidio camera is very light and easy to use. The indoor filming quality is good and color looks great. The software download makes it very easy to edit the clips and transfer the video to a DVD. We are very happy with this purchase.
This flawless camcorder replaces an identical unit stolen from me while on vacation. It is not only identical but also in better condition than my original camera, which I cared for lovingly.

I didn’t know this camera didn’t have a clean HMDI out. I can’t use it to stream. Otherwise camera works fine. I should have researched the specs first.

good value for price

Bought this Refurbished from Sony, at a killer price! (250) Video quality surprised me, coming from a Kodak Z950. However, the colors seemed dull in sunlight. Finding videos in the camera via GPS can only be good for a world traveler, or a trucker. Not fond of the menu system. Maps were always in my way.
