Received a few weeks ago. My wife and I are not very familiar with cameras, but this one is really very simple and works very well! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quality camcorder at an affordable price. The accessories are also great, especially the two tripods. We use the larger one for some nice long shots of our group and the zoom is easy to use and we use the smaller tripod as a grip when using the camcorder as a handheld camera. This makes the video easier and smoother and is easier on the hands and forearms. Worth the price. Lot of money!
