Great Camera, Minor Software Improvements Needed

Overall I am very happy with the video camera and would recommend to buy because I think that the performance at this price is worth it compared to other cameras (despite the cons to follow).

This product is awesome!

I have had this camera for about a little over a month now and love it. It is a great product for amature movie makers (such as my self). The projector is an amazing part, you can shoot it on any wall around you and boom instant movie!

Excellent Camera

Great device, upgraded from a HDR-HC1. The new camera is smaller, more responsive, has the GPS component and has the advantages of flash memory. The optics are great, sound quality (5.1) is awesome! I do not have any complaints with this camera!

Rapid record turn on time, my prior Sony HD cam corder would require 10-15 seconds to prepare for recording

Great so far. Very simple and easy to use. Has some great features like a built in USB plug. Zooms really well and has an excellent picture quality. Built in light is really bright. Doubles as a flash light in the dark. :)
