I was looking for a space-saving device, complementary to my SLR camera. My previous camcorders, heavier and classic with me all dropped on mechanical bored (tapes or mini-disks). I preferred the flash memory option for this reason while remaining true to Sony. The first tests have given me satisfaction, but it is absolutely necessary to have multiple batteries (one supplied with the camera), several memory cards (none is supplied with the camera) and at least one external charger Battery (only one cable to charge your camcorder is included). No protective cover is available with the device (Protection optics in particular) and the included strap seems lightweight and comfortable, too bad. In summary, to have a set for a trip with enough autonomy and security must be added one hundred Euros for accessories.
