"Handy" cam describes it right.

My wife and I wanted a high quality camcorder with plenty of storage. While it's heavier than a flash-memory cam, those other camcorders felt a little too light and flimsy to us. The handy cam feels sturdy and substantial. The hard drive is huge, it takes very high quality pictures (and has a pretty quick shutter speed even), and it's very easy to use.

The basic battery that comes with this camera lasts a pretty decent amount of time. We also bought the Sony ACCFH70 Accessory Kit w/NPFH70 Battery & LCS-VA30 Case to go with this because it included a spare battery. So far, we haven't had to use the spare battery, but it's comforting to know that it's there in case we need it. All said and done, we're fairly pleased with it. We haven't done much yet with trying to edit any videos on our computer, so can't quite comment on that at the moment. Otherwise, everything about this camcorder is to our liking.

Great camera. Watch my videos for the proof

This camera simply takes beautiful video, and stills. For all the proof you will ever need- [...] watch all the newest videos to see how it is in ALL lighting conditions, including night vision.
