Pros & Cons
Pros
Currently the price is the same as the fdr-ax53 - which makes purchasing the ax53 a no brainer. My hands shake a bit, and it smooths it right out.
Cons
If you plan to use this outside beware there is not viewfinder and the screen has an awful glare. The feed unpredictably glitches every few minutes. The glitch lasts a few seconds, and then the stream continues.
Highlights
Quality
Easy to use, hardy and long battery life.
Overall a very good video camera and has flexible features, different video formats.
After the 30 day return window closed i started getting “data error” messages right in the middle of recording.
This is a glitch driven piece of garbage.

I have more money invested in the m-50 with extra lenses etc than this cost.
