Customer reviews

great camera
Love this new Sony HD cam. It’s easy to use and creates great video footage in clarity that might embarrass you. Don’t forget that bikini wax…Also, you will need to purchase an HDMI cable separately for hookup to your TV.

Do not buy if you want to edit videos!!
Sony HD camera video formats are not supported by any editing software other than Sony Vegas which is NOT included with this camera. If you plan to edit your videos, you’re screwed unless you buy the $120 Vegas Pro software! Do not buy this camera if you are looking for easy editing!

Also, this camera has no eyepiece viewer and is essentially useless when filiming outdoors.

Excellent Value Choice
This items is excellent, has enought capability to record more than 500 hours at HD (1080p), recommeded, the price also is great!!!

Just 1 thing
It really is a great camera, lots of fun and excellent quality, and very easy to use, just keep in mind it has a hard drive so it cannot sustain vibration. I purchased mine to take motorcycle videos and it couldnt record, so i replaced it with the cx7 that does the job well!

AMAZING
It works SO GOOD, but the only problem is that it doesnt focus super fast. But. other than that, everything is super amazing!! totally worth the $$$!
