This camera performs better in low-light conditions than any camera I have used before in the amateur-enthusiast range. Plenty of nice functions. Wish the MP4 mode wasn't so limited, but AVCHD is an okay format anyway.

  Value for money-wise, I doubt you can beat this camera. It's as close to a professional camera as it's possible to get for less than £500.

  I have bought the larger battery as the battery supplied with the camera could struggle with a full day's filming. The camera doesn't come with a memory card - it would be good to have the option to buy your preferred memory card as the same time as the camera purchase.

  menu touch screen could be more responsive.

I bought the video camera to begin videoing my grandsons. The images are spectacularly clear, almost as if I am re-visioning what I saw. This also enables others to view videoed events with thankful clarity.

  A great camera for getting in and out on a shoot.

use it as a c-cam to my wedding setups. even if lower light venues (but not absolute low lights - only sony a7s series will save you there) - this produces an amazing picture quality to have as backup on crane or tripod. great image, crisp and clear, 4k, compact.

Sent it back after one hour awful plasticky thing

Very good image. Good funcionality. Nice zoom amplitude. Very nice camera.

It’s a fantastic camcorder love everything about it. 4K video is perfect
