Every detail up close shows up with no blurriness. The zoom is very powerful. The focus is just a little slower than i would like. Awesome 1080p hd video.

Sony is master's of camcorder technology! This is one of the best camcorders i have ever bought. No sensor or recording artifacts, despite what you tube videos might show you.



Cons

    I didnt give it higher rating because the chords and instructions for charging were not exact

    Hours of recording before batteries go dead

    Dont expect it to act like a top of the line video camera


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The one thing i dont like is that on auto focus whenever i move the camera around a bit the picture goes out of focus and then goes back into focus after a couple seconds


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This obviously can be prevented by using a stationary tripod but for taking handheld video it can get annoying


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Ive noticed that when zooming in on a faraway subject the shakiness really becomes apparent something not even the antishaking feature can fix


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The photo taking feature on this camera is pretty good but not the best will not replace a real camera


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The camera isnt hd and the pictures can be compared to those from an inexpensive smartphone
