After several models with both tape cassette and memory card, this should be a new attempt to finally have a functional, lightweight and easy-to-use video camera that is equipped with reasonably powerful lens and good battery. My wish was: high take camera, open, producing video. I also had the greatest desire to finally produce videos, in which not the focus could now and noddles without having to know the reason for it or affect it permanently. These effects I had proposed in my two Medion cameras, which are now in the corner. Result: I was not disappointed. I finally found the camera that does exactly what I want and thereby produces very brilliant videos that you might show. I do not represent details of the camera and its functions here that you can read everything at Sony. My judgment is about this camera: price / performance ratio very good, relatively easy to use, ready to use, very good battery life and high-quality lens that is still very well made too dim. I am glad that I bought this camera and can only highly recommend.
