3 Stars Good for the price, poor quality
Nice camera for the price, it really neads a stedy shot feature. The videos are to compresed and in HD have some noice and small dots. Really poor quality under low ambient light but grat results under good light. Its a good product for the price but dont expect too much.
1 Star Sony is great… but avoid the MHS-CM1 HD
I purchased this camcorder looking for a low price camcorder to use in recording training role plays. This camcorder should have never been released by Sony. When recording in High Definition, the video was dropping frames and was extremely choppy. It was like the camcorder was recording a few frames per second, instead of the 20 or so it should. The HD video was dark, and blurry. The audio quality was tolerable. The menu is a bit unfriendly but workable, and the buttons on the camcorder feel cheap. Pay more and get one of Sony’s better products.
5 Stars Nice!
I like this webbie..easy to use… it wud be better if there was better grip .. the flash light is gud as well…nice picture quality…and audio is not bad … overall worth the money….
5 Stars Great product – Iffy service from vendor
We bought this product reconditioned, via Amazon but from a secondary vendor.
We’re not technophiles or camera enthusiasts, just wanted something convenient and easy to use for catching pictures/videos of the kids, pets, travel, and so on. The product itself is great, does everything we wished and more, and is a handy size, weight, etc. Even the slightly odd colour – orange – makes it easily identifiable as ours.
The only real complaint we’ve had so far is it came preloaded with pictures. Not factory demo shots – real pictures. Apparently whoever owned it previously forgot to clear the internal memory card. Worse, the shop that reconditioned it also failed to wipe the memory and, in fact, several of the pictures appear to be staff members horsing around.
One would have thought it would be an automatic step before sending the product out to a new customer, to return it as close as possible to factory condition first.
Otherwise, great little camera so far.
4 Stars sony webbie
It’ alright. High def or not it’s just very o.k. If you want a good high def camera expect to pay more for now but for the price it’s just o.k.
