All I can say is “WOW! After using a standard-definition camcorder, this is light years ahead. The low-light videos are perfectly exposed and shows natural colors. The picture quality is incredible and the features are unsurpassed. Still photographs at 12 megapixels are close in quality from my $ 1600 Nikon D90 Kamera.I LOVE IT! Rating: 5 / 5

Well, this is my first camcorder, so I can not say that I am much more experienced with camcorders. However, I am very happy with this camcorder very satisfied. There are several points that I want to write down. First of all, with the Pro: 1 Type of photography as a fellow, I am very picky with picture white balance, especially indoors. The pictures are to show how close the actual envirenment as possible. The pictures should not be yellow or supersaturated with color from the light bulbs that are installed in my house. White balance is a problem of the problem, which I with a lot of indoor time to take pictures. I am pleased to say that the white balance of the camcorder exceed my expectations. I have not recorded the video color balance because the camcorder is the color as it is. Very nice.2. Another thing is I’m very excited about the focus. I wish my SLR camera can do this, but I do not think that Nikon can do it. I have two children, and the pictures of their faces in focus is most important. I can have each of them on each side of the frame, and the camcorder can see their faces (marked with a red square) to their faces, and accordingly. I wish I could do with my SLR camera, but all the focus sensors are near the center and only a few of them are cross-type sensors (sensitive sensor that can help focus the lens quickly). The most expensive professional lenses do not help. This camcorder can focus very well. I am very beeindruckt.3. Ease of use. What can I say. I had the camcorder out of the box and have only used. No need for the manual. It is easy to focus on the menu system. While there are some small menu-browsing issues corrected in the firmware update was. Overall, the camcorder is not to take too many unnecessary features that I need not only the features that I think are important to watch videos not thinking, too. I like the “My Menu” function. I can customize it to include only the materials that I need when recording videos. I can on the “My Menu” during the filming of easy to use. This is great.4. Touch screen. Being a guy photography, I can only say that I like to use the tilting of the screen to see what I held with the optical clock shooting through the viewfinder. As a person who wants to try something new, I think shooting with the LCD screen is large. Try to increase your camcorder over my head as high as possible and shoot down. Can you do that with a typical SLR camera? I think not. I can see everything on the screen and control my shots with the same touch screen as well. Ehrfürchtig.5. Low light performance is great with this camcorder. You should see to believe it. It’s better than anything I’ve tried. Sorry, this is my first camcorder.
6th Oh goodness my trembling hand. This camcorder can really dampen my hands shake. What can I say. I love it. I wish my normal wide-angle and zoom lenses can do this. I ask myself how the Sony-camera stabilization in the work on their SLR cameras. I am Interesse.7. Other good things: 64GB is pretty much, very quick download to your computer, it is light and small. My camera is about 5-10 times as heavy.
; Full HD) is good (1920×1280 @ 60 fields per second. Convert the AVCHD files on 24p or 30p with Adobe Premiere software or other software or just the movies to 60i interlaced TV for the smooth Wiedergabe.Con ? Not many think about what I do for them in comparison to what I paid for my SLR camera and all professional lenses, I have paid. OK, shows one thing, but a minor detail: the G lens of your camcorder a little bit too much barrel distortion. Maybe Sony should have the Zeiss lens set on this camcorder. Nahhhh. I am happy with this purchase and the price I had paid.

Absolutely love it.Pros: * Excellent HD movie in low light conditions * Turns to immediately * Has night vision devices * Easy to use * If high res images as you film * Smile Detection technology automatically an image when all people smile in the context * Small, pretty fit, weighs almost nichtsCons: * The LCD touch-sensitive and operate the menu for the camera.
