I bought this to replace my old Sony HDR UX19 Camcorder which was bought from amazon back in 2007/8 due to it's heaviness and limited to 32gb memory stick pro duo storage, this model is very light to carry on your pocket, very easy to setup and use although the quality is not as good as my previous...

I bought this second hand. I'm largely very pleased with it. I had a Canon HG20 previously, from new. Almost everything I want, but missing features that would have cost very little.. No socket for external microphone. No flash on photo function. No USB streaming, to use as webcam, for example.
