Review Summary

Rated 4 out of 5

This camcorder is easy to use. I am pleased with the performance of it so far, however, the LCD screen has no anti-glare protection. It is like looking into a mirror. You really can't see what you are taking a picture or video of, especially if the sun is in your eyes.

  • Quick On-2: Missing an important scene can be frustrating, especially if the reason is because your camcorder is turned off. With the Quick On feature, the touch of a single button places that camcorder in Sleep mode. Another push instantly wakes the camcorder
  • Built-in zoom microphone with 5.1ch recording: Featuring Dolby Ditigal 5.1 Creator, the built-in zoom microphone focuses audio recording on your subjects in sync with the camera's zoom lens, helping memories ring true with clear dialogue and crisp, discrete sounds

When using the LCD screen or viewfinder, the display will show how much the battery is charged -- in 10% increments -- and the recordable time left
  • Face Index-2: Face Index makes it easier than ever to find and play back the right video scene. Using Face Detection technology, Face Index indexes your video footage according to the faces detected in each scene
  • Film Roll Index-2: Like chapters in a book, Film Roll Index helps you easily find desired scenes in video footage. When using this feature, the camcorder previews the beginning of scenes and can create scene indexes set at specified display intervals (3, 6, or 12 seconds and 1 or 5 minutes)
