I received this camcorder on Christmas, and so far I love it! It has a lot of features that I like such as touch screen controls, easy settings, steadyshot, and a built in USB. It's very easy to use, I charged it and simply set the date and started recording. Decent software (PMB) comes with it for upload and sharing on your comp. Only negative is that a few times I couldn't get it to record upon turning it on so I had to take the battery out for a minute and put it back in and then it worked fine.

Comments about Sony Flash Memory Camcorder:
I use this product to capture my 4 year old granddaughter in action. It is easy to use and doesn't take long to turn on to get a picture. I like the idea of it being a camera and camcorder. The quality of the pictures are not as good as I would like for them to be. Sound a little low. Not good for professional use.

Comments about Sony Flash Memory Camcorder:
Excellent first camera. Great video and ease of use. The only con is that it does not take still photos while videoing live, like the older sony handycam. You can take stills with it, but its not live video when you do. Otherwise, it is compact, lightweight and great for travel.
