Nice palm recorder

I bought this at the last minute to capture my brothers wedding in video for him. Worked great, lasted the whole ceremony and saved this life memory for them.

So Far, Fantastic!

Just bought camera yesterday. Have been looking for just the right one at the right price for small video projects, but with good quality. We are hikers, so the LIGHT WEIGHT was absolutely essential! It feels like it weighs about 8oz. So far, I love the features like picture effects and the ever helpful auto-focus and light settings for amateur video. Super simple to use and the options and features are numerous for a small camera at such a good price.

Compact and easy to handle

Purchased today, I have not had a chance to use. Once opening the package I was slightly disappointed, because of time shortage I will test the product and hopefully the end results are more satisfying.

Perfect for capturing UCF baseball games

Gave it to my daughter so she can film my Grandson's games. She said it's a good camera.

decent camcorder for the price

Easy to use as in recording and handling it. Nice, compact and battery life so far will last most all day on a all day event with out recharge. Would have gave it a 5 star if deleting multiple recordings would more user friendly, too many actions to do one thing. Had no issues transferring video to computer for uploads.

Worst camera I have ever owned. You have to have 2 special cords just to charge the battery. Loading video from your camera to computer is not easy either. I would never recommend this camera to anyone.

Extremely nice camera for the price

By DaisywithaK

This camcorder is a great little camera for anyone, especially video bloggers. It's very user friendly in that it's very easy to control and navigate through its features; it even alerts you when the lens cover is closed. Not only does it have a 52X zoom, but it also has a movable display screen so you can see yourself when filming a "vlog" or interview or other such things. Though the pictures become a bit grainy in the dark, they are beautiful in the daylight and the videos are lovely. Over...

Amazing movie camera!

By DandiDon

This is the best movie camera I've ever owned. It's hard to believe that something this small and light does so much. The battery lasts forever before needing recharging.

The Sony HDR-CX240 Full HD Handycam Camcorder (Black) features an 1/5.8" Exmor R CMOS sensor and a wide-angle Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar zoom lens with 27x optical zoom plus 54x Clear Image digital zoom. The CX240 captures Full HD 1920x1080 video at 60p and 9.2MP still images. SteadyShot image stabilization with Active Mode delivers smooth video and 3-Way-Shake-Canceling adds electronic roll stability for even smoother results.

Users can monitor and playback footage via the 2.7" Clear Photo LCD display with 230K dot resolution. Dual recording lets you simultaneously capture both high-quality AVCHD and web-optimized MP4 files. The Intelligent Auto mode analyzes your shot and automatically selects the appropriate settings from ten distinct scene modes, with 60 different possible combinations. A built-in USB 2.0 cable provides a connection to your computer for charging or file transfer and fits conveniently into the hand strap, so it's out of the way until you need it.
