I am rating this a 2 only because you HAVE TO use the lousy software that comes with it.I would like to say that J. Henry said all that was going through my head. I don’t have the patience for this…if I could just convince my hubby to try the comparable Sony we were looking at….it just didn’t seem to be as user friendly….that might be something I can learn to deal with and overcome! Great Camera, lousy software and no way around it!

I got the product on time within the shipping estimates and everything worked very well. I’ve been using the camera for a while and it hasn’t given me and problems.

This is the fourth camcorder I have owned over the past 20 years, and the picture is worse than the VHS camcorder I first bought 20 years ago! It looks fine on the LCD monitor, but when we tried to view it on our TV AND on our computer, it was terrible! It was grainy with low color. What a disppointment! Now I have to pay a 15% restocking fee to return it! We have five children, and video of them growing up is very important to us. I would rather have NO video than the video we get from this sub-standard camera!

Still photos look awful. Poor quality, dark, washed out. Details are hilarious. And the movies are recorded in a proprietary format which makes it very difficult to share. For whatever reason, each video has three files: one for video, one for audio, and one for who knows what?

DOES NOT RECORD IN ANY STANDRD VIDEO FORMAT!!!

I regret buying this piece of garbage.

People who are giving this a good review either have low standards, or know nothing about what constitutes a good camera.

I guess i should have searched the depths of the internet to know that these camcorders are not compatible with MAC computers.

I hate it when certain important details are ‘conveniently’ either left out or shown in 5 point font size.
