video quality is pretty good considering price. Compact size makes it easy to carry. Still pictures with zoom tend to be a little blurry. Lcd touch panel tends to get dirty with finger prints. Overall it suits my neeeds.

This camcorder is good but not best. Quality of still pictures and night shouts are very bad. However this camcorder is user frendly product and very easy to use. Battery life and quality of vidio pictures are best. This is low cost cam. zooming power of the cam is best. face detection facility, touch panel facility and direct copy facilities are the very good features of the cam. sound quality is also very good. Previously i used samsung camcorder. When comparig samsung this cam is very best. However i recommend to others this cam because of value of the cost.

Great product for the price. Video quality is excellent considering it records only in standard definition. Its lightweight and convenient to store in your pocket. Microphone picks up sounds very clear and doesnt sound muffled when playing back video. Stock battery doesnt last long, especially if youre going on vacationa and are never near any outlets to charge it. Therefore definitely recommend upgrading the battery to the 50 series which lasts up to 4 hours per charge. Also a carrying case is worth buying to keep extra sd cards, mini tripod stands, batteries, and the camera inside. Touchscreen menu takes a bit to get used to but eventually its easy to use. Overall was very pleased with the camcorder. Definitely recommend to others!!!

we had wanted a new camcorder for awhile, so my husband did some research. we first saw this camera at walmart, but then found it on ebay for cheaper, still new. i love this camera. the size, picture and sound quality are all great! i haven't tried to upload anything to a disc, but hopefully that is as easy as it says. we have hooked the camcorder directly to the tv to watch some things and it was easy and the picture looked great. i would definitely recommend this camcorder!
