Wish I had bought the panasonic model instead. There is nothing to write good about the picture other than it is about the same as a vhs video camera. Go with panasonic.

This handycam is very easy to use and takes great video’s and still pictures.
I would have loved a little more zoom, but this works just fine. It is a bit pricy though !
