Review: LOVE THIS CAMERA - I am extraordinarily in love with this camera. For starters I am no superstar techie when it comes to electronics but they are my thing and I heavily researched good qualities of a camcorder before deciding on this camcorder. These are all of the things I love.. -Light weight -Beautiful picture -Projector is AWESOME (darken the room and focus the picture and its a huge success) Few cons -I wish the battery were enclosed and not coming right off the back end of the camera -the touchscreen can be a bit finicky, I have big fingers and sometimes it takes a few times of me pressing the screen for it to register. It doesn't bother me but it can be frustrating Anyway, I am an amateur user in terms of some I know. I just want to make a few movies of my family and record special occasions. For those things, this camera is fantastic. I can't wait to use it more and see how well it films. Things I have not tried: -outside filming -the software Happy shopping!
Review: Amazing.. infact outstanding. I'm lovi'n it.. - I decided on this after reading lot of reviews & since there were very few with the projector option I finally went for it. The only concern I had while reading the review was the "Bulkiness or heavier than other models" due to projector feature. However, when I received the parcel I was stunned at the weight infact I thought there was nothing inside the box. On opening I was amazed at how compact & light this handycam is which is full of powerful features. The built-in USB cable, extracting photos while shooting video, 3 inch touchscreen, 16GB internal memory, amazing quality projector image (of course the darker the veiwing space, the better it gets) the list goes on. It's been three weeks since I received this & I am loving it. Look no further if you are searching for a good HD handycam.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Camcorder for a good price
*by S***D on May 10, 2013*

I did a lot of research before buying this camcorder and was wondering if it is worth paying the extra $100 for the built-in projector. Now after about 2-3 weeks of use, I'm very happy with my purchase. Pros: 1> Compact 2> Projecter Feature is very usefull [ At night when I Put my kids to bed, we project our family videos in our bedroom ] and the quaility is awesome. The Room has to be completly dark to get a good picture quaility 3> Was also able to connect my ipad to this camcorder Cons: 1> Battery Life sucks. Will be buying a newer battery 2> Tried making a movie using Windows Movie Maker s/w but it was not able to convert this format. Still researching.
