We bought the camcorder at the Sony outlet store thinking it was a nice addition to the full size camcorder we already had.
We are so happy with the ability to use this little camcorder where we would never consider using one before. We were in Portland and walked around innocuously filming the sites and hardly anyone even noticed that I was filming the whole time. We took it to a restaurant on the 30th floor and recorded incredible views around the building. The large monitor screen and design allows you to hold it down where it doesn't look like you're filming instead of up at eye level. I would normally be too self conscious to do this with a full size camera and now we take it everywhere.
The picture quality is fine, just remember how small it is with limited zoom capabilities and you'll be happy to pack it anywhere.
