first the good, this camera takes awesome video and pictures it's very portable too, it fits right in your jeans pocket with little effort. I recently took a trip with my girlfriend to Thailand and we had a great time took many pictures as well as HD video which is why I bought the camera in the first place. For the price you can't beat it either, with shipping it still was still the best priced out there. Now the bad this camera doesn't come with a view finder like the old camcorders and some of the current ones so if you like view finders you can stop reading now. the lens cap doesn't come with a string attachement and as you might expect it was lost in thailand around Koh Samui to be exact. the camera comes with one of those hinge screen that you open to see what your recording or if you liked your picture, unfortunately if you close it by mistake that turns off the camera which can get annoying, also if you have a mac the extra programs won't work but the camera can download the videos and pictures regardless of what program you use or computer for that matter. As I've said before for the price this is a great travel camera.Read full review
First, the Webbie is small and easy to use. But not small enough to justify the lack of features and poor low light video quality this camcorder has. Outdoors, the picture quality is tack sharp. Normal progressive speed is 60 frames per second in order to provide smooth motion. But with the Webbie, there is only the 30 frame progressive speed. It is too slow to provide smooth looking video. Objects in motion look jittery like an old home movie. If you move the camera while shooting, the image is more jittery than a normal video camera. There is no image stabilizer, and this makes it even worse. It's difficult to hold this camera steady enough to get smooth motion shots. All the controls are fully automatic with no manual over rides. This works fine in good lighting. In low lighting, the focus hunts in and out, and won't lock on the object you are recording. The colors become very reddish and you can't lock the white balance to a preset indoor or outdoor setting. The image becomes intolerably grainy and the sharpness falls away, leaving a muddy and noisy image despite the HD setting. Curses to Sony for using a proprietary, expensive memory stick you can't buy in any drugstore. Come on, Sony. Give it up and go SD like everyone else. You'll double your camera sales. Now if you're going to just shoot a few clips outdoors for fun to post up on YouTube, and you don't care about the motion artifacts, the Webbie is great. But you don't need HD video for the web. I fact, most web sites like YouTube can't handle the HD file size or HD resolution, anyway. The one's that can compress it so much it's almost useless to upload HD. There are other camcorders this size and price range that shoot standard resolution on regular SD cards. The image may lack the edge defintion of the Webbie, but it's more usable in most cases than Webbie images.Read full review
Picture: camera needs enough light for good video, not recommended for recording inside if not enough light is available. The built in LED light is not enough. Sound quality is some kind of weird, somehow it tries to normalize audio level during recording, but doesn't do a good job at all. Overall I'm very satisfied whit it, very good price/value, camera is very easy to use, lie it's small size, the 4x optical zoom is enough, acceptable video quality if using at daytime outside. Would recommend this as a second camera, battery is very good, although I bought a used one (I believe that the earlier owner was taking care on right charging).
For a consumer camcorder on the cheap, this is a great choice. In daylight the picture is bright and clear with good color and low noise. The light on it is basically useless though. The mic is not all together useless, but I've seen better. I wish it had a removable battery as it is useless if the battery dies while shooting. Makes a great selfie cam as the screen does swivel to face the person being filmed. So here are my P/C Pros 1. 1080i HD image. Great in good light. 2. Fully front facing mic for good pickup. 3. Auto On feature makes for fast acquisition time. 4. Screen swivels to face subject. %. Standard SD card compatibility. 5. Small and lightweight. 6. good optical zoom [5x] 7. Tripod mount. CONS 1. battery cannot be changed by user. 2. Really bad in low light 3. Its smallness makes it hard to hold steady 4. Built in light is not very goodRead full review
Not for recording in the dark.. But everything else is AWSOME. I read lots of reviews and articles before I bought and I was a little worried, but what the heck, for this price I will try it. I use it to record my son's sporting events and it works very well. when i got it i was worried because it was so small but the high def images are awsome. the zoom is better than what i expected and because it's hi def the digital zoom work great as well, didn't pixelate at all. two draw backs, you have to by a memory card to record to, not that big of a deal. the battery is an internal rechargeable battery that can't be replaced or expanded. I'm still glad i bought it....
