Highlights
Quality
Sturdy construction has held together over the years.
Overall a great camcorder, easy to use, fantastic video output, rich colors and great feature.
Oh and the light for the camera is only good if you are shooting up close at night and the night vision feature leaves allot of tracers.
Around the 8th year of using it some pixels started showing up in the video and the audio would record a strange whining noise.
Price
This camera is very good for its price.
Defiantly worth the price, although all the manuals were in spanish for some reason.
In short, it is worth it for the price offered.
Only the sony was over $100 more!
Shipping
Had to wait a few days for the free shipping to kick in but i don't mind.
Camcorder was shipped via usps and we got it in five days.
Packaging/appearance
Camera arrived with all it's accessories and in great condition.
Competitiveness
It is better than what i had from sony 5 years back.
I was inclined to go for sony peer product as my friend a die-hard-core fan of sony, recommended it.
There was another product out there from sony that was constantly compared to this one.
However, one significant difference is the threading on the lens collar is apparently smaller than other everio camcorders.

It still works but i dont use it because of the pixels and whining plus i use smart phones for recording these days
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I wish they would continue making this camera
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
After reading some of the negative reviews its understandable to see people upset with some of the software and its usage however back then software was in its infancy with few options
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I ended up by programming my computer to convert it by itself after uploading today software has changed drastically
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
How it survives is beyond me but it is a super performer and when the time comes to replace it i hope to find a comparable unit
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
For its time and price this unit was ahead of its time and is still in competition against todays cameras if you can find one snap it up you wont regret it
