Overall I am satisfied with this camcoder. Only 1 thing I do not happy is. this camcoder no switch to turn it off. only by close the display screen but I notice that it still consume the battery charge even the dispaly closed. I left it in battery level full charge and the next day I turn it on and I notice the battery only 5 percent left.

1/07/2016 I purchased this sony projector camcorder as a wedding gift a couple of months ago (I purchased another Sony camcorder with auto night vision for camping trips). After the couple returned from their whirlwind tour of Spain, Portugal and Italy, received rave reviews. Typically Sony wizardry, excellent imaging, ease of use, great programmed filters, etc. The bonus is the built in pico projector, which was used quite often.

For the price, this is a nice, easy to use, small, light weight camcorder. But, picture quality (sharpness of recorded video) no matter the setting is less than desirable.

I bought this camera for the sole purpose of a vacation I was taking with my sisters. It had been 8 for me and 17 years since my sisters and had seen. So I wanted as much video and pictures I could get. This camera documented just about The whole trip. I even took on a Harley ride along the Klamath River and the only I can say negative about this camera is I couldn't hear anything but the wind. But I love this camera and I'm glad I purchased it. Thank you Sony for making such a wonderful device.

I really love this camcorder. It is small, easy to use, the menu is self-explanatory, and the video quality is great. It also has a projector feature which allows instant replay....all you need is a flat surface and some darkness to view your recordings, instead of havng to plug the camcorder into your TV, or place the video data on a flash drive, etc. I also like the toggle feature when navigating the menu and various functions, as opposed to the touch screen model. The toggle keeps the viewing screen clean.

Love the camera! But I wish it came with a controller. When playing videos on my tv, I'll have to get up everytime I want to skip a video or stop or play.

Good camera but cannot be used for long shoots due to the short battery life. It needs the charge while you shoot capability the previous models had. A battery eliminator accessory would make this the perfect camera. I had the previous model that had the capability. Sony is the best!

This camcorder is great except when it came to making my own DVDs. Because it is Sonys proprietary software I could not burn my own copies with my software and it took 12+ hours, for their software to convert my recording to a non-Blueray format. Yep! 12+ hours. I turned it in for a Canon. The response time during my phone call was lousy. I was told someone would call me within an hour and three days later I received a call back. By then I had turned the unit back to Best Buy.
