NEX VG900

After a month of having this camera I have found it to be a disappointment at best. It is poorly designed and is very hard to work with out moving the camera around to look at the buttons. The Lens that came with this camera is a very poor lens at a high price. I would not buy it again if I had the chance to get my money back.
