"Not a specialist on camcorders, I bought a SD camera because I didn't feel like spending so much money for a HD one... bought Sony because I'm addicted to the brand...

Night mode is nice, the 25x zoom is addictive! ..." Read Full Review »

"I used this right after a quick charge. Sony keeps adding more advanced features and at the same time keeps the camera easy to operate. Zoom is excellent, and the ability to add and change different lenses is an added bonus. BH Photo by far had the best package around. This camera is great for e …"  Read Full Review »
