Comment:
I am making music videos for my original children's songs. I used to have a non HD video camera from Canon and I liked that, so in comparison, this is great! I don't have lots of experience with video, and NONE with high end models or fancy features, so for me, this is the right choice.
How long have you owned it:
A month or less
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
