This camcorder is great except when you record videos you can't store them on EXPENSIVE SD memory cards that you have to buy separately "Thanks SONY". I repeat that you CANNOT save video footage. to a memory card. Luckily I bought a camcorder with 40GB built-in internal memory, otherwise you would have to transfer a lot of video to a computer or laptop. I love that SONY doesn't mention this until you read the manual after purchasing the product. Whilst the features are great especially with the night vision built into the camcorder as I use this camcorder for hunting it helps a lot to see the deer approaching the area before sunrise so you have an idea of where they are are and will be morning bedding, while the night vision could be improved with better resolution to catch light in the dark, by my standards this is adequate. Also very light and compact to put in your backpack, remember you have it in your backpack and don't be an idiot like my cousin who just dropped his bag and broke his camcorder.
