    34 customers mention28 positive6 negative

    Customers like the image stabilization of the camera. For example, they say it's the best, works extremely well, and doesn't get in the way. Some mention that the steady cam feature is okay at close distances, but at great distances it'll be rock steady.

    "...on Standard, walking around and doing a video is nice and stable with minimal bounce...." Read more

    "...No shaking, especially during zoom up close, due to the image stabilization feature and the incredible 4K image. Wow!..." Read more

    "...The image stabilization is terrific when hand-holding (which I shoot 90% of the time using this camera), but on a tripod, you need to let it settle..." Read more

    "...The gimbal-like image-stabilization is unmatched...." Read more

    22 customers mention18 positive4 negative

    Customers like the value of the camera. They mention it's great for the price, totally worth its money, and the best 4K video camera for the money.

    "...Just know this unit has a great blend of features, value, usabillity, and best of breed stabilization...." Read more

    "...So, we hardily recommend this camera as being a great value and fine performer in this price range." Read more

    35 customers mention24 positive11 negative

    Customers are mixed about the quality of the product. Some mention that it does a great job, while others say that it just does not work. The viewfinder only works when the flip-out display is closed, and it will not work with PlayMemories Mobile. The touch screen stopped working about two years ago, and the camera does not operate well at night.

    "...We also got a 6 Foot Tripod and the camcorder works well on that platform and with Steady Shot on Standard, walking around and doing a video is..." Read more

    "...It eliminates most operational sounds and gives a much stronger performance than the built-in mikes...." Read more

    "...The viewfinder only works when flip-out display is closed...." Read more

    "...Just know this unit has a great blend of features, value, usabillity, and best of breed stabilization...." Read more

    19 customers mention13 positive6 negative

    Customers are mixed about the noise of the camera. Some mention that it eliminates most operational sounds and maintains a constant audio level. However, others say that it makes noise when recording, has very noisy images, and that 5.1 audio is not an option in 4K mode.

    "...I use external mics exclusively, and the audio quality has been excellent: Rode VideoMic GO (powered by camera) or Rode Wireless Filmmaker Kit..." Read more

    "...The on board Mic works extremely well and on a par with the Canon with an external Mic...." Read more

    "...The video will be very noisy so don't use it if you don't have to do so. Try night shot if it is very dark vs using the Low Lux mode...." Read more

    "...Have even done interviews on the fly and they sound good even on the built-in mic, so that's a perk for that..." Read more

    12 customers mention7 positive5 negative

    Customers are mixed about the light conditions. Some mention that the camera has great low light conditions, and is surprised with the night vision. However, others say that the quality could be better, the exposure is too dark, and the light does not have much range.

    "...Lower light situations mostly, and the clips look crisp and sharp...." Read more

    "...player does not do well displaying 4K video, which is faded and too bright...." Read more

    "...It’s also great to have Night Shot vision and to be able to put the auto/manual focus on the button on the outside front of the camera...." Read more

    "...The light does not have much range at all - only a few feet...." Read more

    13 customers mention3 positive10 negative

    Customers are disappointed in the focusing ability of the camera. They mention that the auto focus had a hard time in medium-to-low light, and the focus seems slow.

    "...and turn the camera off and then turn it back on again, the auto focus wouldn't work when I tried to video long distance again...." Read more

    "...Even when using spot focus and touching the item it still would not focus on it. Had to totally reframe to get it to focus on what I wanted...." Read more

    "...Just will not focus on the screen at all and if you cannot zoom to make the screen full screen what is the point of the camera...." Read more

    "...TECHNICAL: I LOVE the focus ring... one of the things I loved about the XR500v was the ability to adjust the focus on the camera using a knob as..." Read more

    Best camera for the price. I use for church services, games, special events, active on the move...

    Best camera for the price. I use for church services, games, special events, active on the move...
    I use two of these for recording our church services. They are set up in the back of the sanctuary. One is plugged in to the sound board. Import videos to PC using Sony's software. I then use Davinci Resolve, a free editing tool. Much better software program. Video and photo quality for this little camcorder is great.I also use one of these cameras for my kids sports. The stabilizer works great when you are moving.I have also set up this camera to work remotely from my phone. Easy set up. Easy to use. Watch a few YouTube videos and get started making your own great videos.I use the Sony VCT-VPR1 tripod while recording at the church. I use the Sunpak 6700M monopod while recording backetball, volleyball... events. The sunpak is easy to move around with.Great all around camera.
