I bought this item to make adding videos to my website easier. One of the problems I have is talking direct to the viewer which is of course really easy with a big-ish lens - you know where to direct yourself. This camcorder solved that problem.

This was purchased to replace the same model which was accidentally damaged. This review is of my previous CX240E. This is an excellent camcorder. It fits easily in the pocket and can be instantly available for something unexpected or as a backup HD camcorder.
