I bought this product to record sport events. It works fine but when I tried to rewind it was impossible to stop the frame I wanted to see without a remote. The cable that connects to the TV is short and the buttons are very small. It is really a challenge. All the accessories that you need to record cost extra money too. Other brands do better.It has all kind of features that I do not understand. It will take hours of education before using the product extra features. Image stabilization is good and I hear some noise while recording. Cellphones are more handy these days and work fine for less.This video camera is probably better to be used by professionals although I am not sure it will give the quality that most professionals want.I like Sony’s TVs. Hope this helps.

Touch screen works best if you use a pointer with a rubber soft head. Good zoom distance. Captures moving objects well.Easy to use. Small and light. Pocket size.

I will keep this short many other reviews cover all the finite details. I will cover what stands out to me about this camera for good and bad.I purchased this camera for making Youtube videos, primarily outdoors in all weather conditions. I will start with the best things. Image stabilization is excellent and paired with the zoom you can use this to see things clearly far away without a tripod, animals, terrain, targets the like. The battery life is good, not great but good be warned it will drop fast in cold weather essentially halving the time under 30f thereabouts so plan accordingly. There is an external mic input which is good because the onboard mic is useless in all but perfectly calm weather.Now for the biggest negatives. The mic input is under the screen…. so to plug the mic in you have to open the screen which turns on the camera, plug the mic in then close the screen on top of the mic cord and open the screen back up so the camera will register the external mic. OR you can leave the mic plugged in with the screen partly open and deal with dust and debris on the screen ( this is while moving position or in between filming, while hiking etc), bad design in my use. Image quality, its ok. Not as sharp as I would like, it was not much of an improvement over my last camera. The Sony proprietary shoe sucks, you have to purchase an adapter to use a normal shoe ( mic or light etc) or purchase the over priced and not much better than stock proprietary sony external boom mic. This forced me to rig up a side mount for my RODE mic using heavy duty velcro, my a6000 has this too and is why my next camera will not be from a brand that has any proprietary attachment points.For the money there is no night shot mode. This is my fault for overlooking this at purchase time I assumed it was included because of the price, I was wrong and this thing is grainy and worthless in all but *good* lighting this means for filming in dark areas ( tents and shelters,my garage ) I have to bring extra lighting. The menu system is not very intuitive, it just isnt. I is frustrating to change some settings and you have to start all over at the beginning of the menu when you want to go back one page.OK so to wrap up, this camera comes with an external mic port but is finicky to plug in, has great image stabilization and decent battery life, the actual recorded image is nothing above or beyond especially in lower light (very grainy) the shoe dosnt accept normal accessories without an adapter, and there is no night shot mode. All for 500 bucks. Just not impressed and am looking for a new camera and probably a new brand as well.

I can’t believe some of the mediocre reviews this camera is getting. For the price you can’t beat it. It’s got unbelievable image stabilization and records at great image quality. It’s compact and relatively easy to use. Does it work well in really low light? Of course not! If you expect it to at this price and size you’re totally unreasonable. Do you have to use menus to set it up and maybe read the owner’s manual for guidance? Of course! All things considered, this is a wonderful camera. It’s not going to do everything a $5,000 camera will. It does what it claims to and does it well.
