Relatively pricey, Small sensor for a camcorder this price

The HC-V550 is a good, compact camcorder and its built-in Wi-Fi adaptor makes it easy to view files stored on the camcorder and transfer them to another device. It’s not terribly exciting, though, and its image quality isn’t as good as we’d expect for...

ease of use

For a down to earth camera, it's quality is superb. You could pay a lot more for this quality, and at the price I paid for it, I can not fault it. I have taken several videos with this, and found the image quality of fine quality. There are reviews on...
