I use it for a short time, but the fact is that the only insurmountable obstacle to the successful use of the device is charging from a computer. From the network - it would be better. And so I advise) Its pros: The lens is protected, the video quality is acceptable, the memory is expandable up to 32 gigs, so even at 1080p it lasts for a long time Some cons: do not try to take a picture - the quality is poor; video clips are short - no more than 30 minutes, be careful and make sure if you are still filming or everything is cut off, charging only from a computer lasts 95 minutes - so it's better to buy spare batteries: SONY NP-BK1 are sold not so expensive (650 apiece), and the pleasure of shooting is extended at times.
