Review Summary

This Camcorder is an excellent product, including capabilities you might expect only on migh higher-end products. Pros: The video and audio are excellent. The many set-up options are useful and easy to set. Videos are easy to review on the built-in screen and also using the built-in projector, which will not subsitiute for a full-up projector but is still surprisingly good. This camera also simultaneously records HD (M2TS format) and MP4 video/audio, and can even take snapshots while doing so. Plenty of internal memory plus you can add up to 64 GB more. Cons: It comes with an "operations" manual which tells you what the controls do, but there is no user's manual to explain how to actually use the camcorder, and the online aids are equally poor. I expected a tutorial to educate me on all the camera has to offer, but have been very disappointed. You also need a free downloadable tool called PlayMemories Home to be able to get all the videos off the camcorder, but all other capabilities of this tool are only basic and not satisfactory. On both counts, I expected much better of Sony. Bottom line: I heartily recommend this camera, but it's a struggle to figure it out, and you need a third-party editor to do anything significant with the videos.

I have used the projector feature only a couple of times, so it is not a feature that I need. I would have preferred to have a jack for an external microphone as I have to use a Sony PCM recorder for CD-quality sound, which the camcorder does not produce. Lighting should be good as lower light conditions confuses the autofocus. Within its limitations, the camcorder is good.
