I am satisfied with this camera even if I have not used much. it is easy to use but still compel you to read the manual to fully be aware of all the options. The NP-FV50 battery supplied with the camera is not the most effective so I think making the purchase of the NP-FV70 battery shortly to be ready for long trips. The supplied cables are used to connect the camera directly to a TV to HDMI or recharge the battery either via sector or by the computer (longer loading time). Buying a SDHC card is essential as there in no flash memory on this model.
