This camcorder takes nice videos. The stabilization system built in works great. I really like this camcorder, but the day I was to do a wedding video, the HDMI port on the camera stopped working. I wanted to use an external monitor. It all worked great the day I tested it all together, but, not on the wedding day. We still got good video of the wedding, but it would have been so much nicer with that monitor.

The camera has more than met my expectations. I'm back doing what I did fifty years ago with a pro film camera - a TV travel series of Michigan's upper Peninsula, Will be taking old footage on film, converting them to HD digital and morphing it with current recordings of the same locations to the changes and sell the series to PBS and other travel channels. It took a bit to become familiar with all the options the camera offers, but every learning experience is a good experience. It's affordable and has more then enough bells & whistles for even an independent professionals such as myself. If you want more camera it's probably because you work for a company that will pay the cost. I like it. Look for my company name - Village Digital Productions. Ron Mavis, videographer.
