For my micro business, I bought this device other than Amazon (it takes me five), the question is not there. I am extremely disappointed by the image quality that is far from justified its price. Now I hesitate to buy Sony because I had high hopes in this camcorder. Either you take the high-end model, or you find another more serious brand that is not mocked for its customers. Personally, the new situation of Panasonic (in the same price range) hold out my arms or range below that Canon is well worth the high ground from Sony. I advise no purchase or I had a bad model, but Sony does not intend to client requests ...
