Helpful consumer’s review
A decent camcorder on the whole. Video recording quality is good but still pictures are not that good. Microphone doesn’t pick up sound that well. The camcorder is easy to use with very few buttons and touch screen menu. The design of the camcorder is better than it’s technical specifications.
