Great Camcorder
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I was trying to decide between this and the ZI8 camcorders. The ZI8 was cheaper and HD but didn’t offer as much. I was able to try out both of them at a local store and was very dissatisfied with the ZI8 so ended up getting this one. I couldn’t be happier. The only thing this one doesn’t offer is HD, which is a shame, but for the price it’s a great little camcorder. It may be a little hard to use for guys with large hands but it’s not that bad once you get used to it. Great quality, great zoom, built in light and zoom mic, multiple shooting modes. The software that came with it doesn’t work, and from what I’ve read I’m not the only one that has had trouble with it. There are plenty of free programs online that do work however and do a much better job anyway so it’s not a problem.
The one thing that I was highly dissatisfied with was the way Amazon packaged it to send it to me. Horrible packaging job. All they did was put the small camcorder box into a box twice its size and shipped it out. No bubble wrap, no Styrofoam peanuts, no tissue paper, nothing. The camcorder box was left to bounce around and be jarred all the way here. I’m very surprised nothing inside had been broken by the time it got to me.

have not used the camcorder for anything big, but what I have taken has been very clear and easy to use even for me as I am not hep on all the new gadgets, It is very small and cute, I love it. I am using it next week on a trip so will know better then, but as of now would buy it again.
I like this digital video camera!
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I bought this camera for my work, and I’m very glad I did. The camera itself is easy to use, the video is as good as you can get without going pro, and the sound is great. My only complaint is that the software it comes with is not as user friendly as it could be.
Very Nice
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Very Nice camera.
Pros:
Controls are intuitive.
Battery charge time is minimal.
Video and sound quality is good. It’s not HD, what do you expect?
Software works seemlessly with Windows 7.
Portability. (Fits in your pocket)
Zoom, focus and adjustments to different lighting conditions are fast.
Cons:
Software could include a couple more options, like alternate soundtrack capability, and the e-mail function is a little vague.
Summation: Well worth the price. If you want HD quality, this may not be for you. If you want ease of operation and portability, look no further.

I love this camcorder, small but powerful. I first used this camcorder for a singing competion, and the quality was awsome. As I reviewed the video on my computer I felt like I was right there. Great video and pictures in low light and the face Detection technology is great. Easy to download to the computer.
Poor video quality–overall not good
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
I purchased this camera at a store, believing the SONY brand name and previous good reviews about similar Sony camcorders. There are several flaws to this product.
Cons
1. Picture quality is very poor, Indoor and outdoor pictures in good light appear with a bluish tint all over. If you wear a white /gray cloth it appears bluish on video. Like wise the sunlight coming inside your house through window /blinds all appears light blue!! Even with good lighting the quality of images are very bad, lacks sharpness, This in comparison to my old Panasonic PV GS120 is not even close to true color. If you view the pictures on a TV screen it will definitely appear lacking the sharpness. If you are transferring the video to computer using the supplied software it appears very blurry and grainy.
2. There is no way you can charge the battery when camcorder is in use even if there is a spare battery because the battery charging is done hooking up the AC adapter to the camcorder! This seems really stupid. Sony could have made a battery slot on the AC adapter to do this.
3. There is no separate viewfinder. So if the LCD is broken- everything is gone.
4. Audio quality does not seem to be that good but average.
5. I can not find the resolution of the camera for still shots, nothing is mentioned in the manual either. You can not shoot a still picture while recording the video, you have to capture it from the video shots already made. Yea the resolution does not matter in that case.
6. Battery life approximately less than an hour
7. The LED for lighting seems silly
Pros
1. Small size, you can carry in Pants pocket
2. Provision to use SDHC card instead of the “Sony’s own” memory stick duo only. I have not used one yet though.
3. LCD is very clear and sharp (good resolution), and it responds well to the touch.
4. Video transfer is quick and easy once the basic Sony software is installed. I would use some other software to edit it though.
5. 80 GB storage space is great
6. The Sony software has a calendar to see events on a chronological order, that looks great if you are time conscious about the video
Overall I am not satisfied with this camcorder. I will return it soon.
Unacceptable picture quality, poor focusing
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I bought this at a store, not Amazon. I read good reviews about earlier models, and was a bit hesitant to buy this camera because a few people said the video quality was bad. I took the risk, but they were right. The video (and digital picture) quality are unacceptable. Even in decent lighting, the pictures are very dark and grainy, as if they were taken by an old webcam. Even at high quality, there was no improvement. Also, the autofocus was very poor and did not adjust to fast-moving subjects. Don’t be fooled if you try it in a store; the LCD screen has great resolution (better than an iPod) but when you see the video on a computer screen (even when not blown to full size) or on a projection screen, the video quality is so bad. It looks average on a traditional TV. And the zoom mic also does not capture sound effectively. I was going to use this for business videography, but it would have been embarrassing to use this camcorder. I suspect similar camcorders (i.e. 1/6 CCD) may have similar inferior quality. The size, zoom quality, and touch screen might be nice features, but my Canon A570 digital camera from four years ago took better video.
