Product Reviews

I bought this back in 2016 for use in training sessions in Cambodia. Sadly it did not perform well in the heat - and it kept shutting down. But after that my wife and I have used it to good effect. It's floating lens performed wonderfully on the bumpy roads of Laos and Thailand. It was wonderful in the Holy Land - though a bit hard to view in the monitor sometimes in the bright light. It also worked well for my wife in India. More mundanely, it has done wonderfully well in videoing concerts here in UK - and more recently videos of church services for YouTube. The optical zoom is impressive. The microphone is good but an external directional mike preferable in zoomed-in events. A pity that the shoe for adding external gadgets - like microphone - is so hard to access, so had to make up an external shoe for the microphone. The wi-fi for using external app to control works very well. Possibly today a higher resolution would be desirable. But overall it has a good shelf life and will continue to meet most of my video needs..

Overall, I am very happy with the product but would like the menu nto be a bit more intuitive with larger icons.

Inherited it almost new from my predecessor, love it. So easy to use, but lots of tech. The projector is a brilliant feature.

Small enough to carry in a coat pocket. Fits snugly into the hand. Excellent zoom. Still photographs are good quality. Easy to transfer video and stills to computer hard drive via Play Memories.

Bought for a Florida holiday and didn't let us down easy to use with good quality playback and easy to download through the app

I booght this camera 18 month ago..I have used this cam in subzero temperatures (-10 'C) and over +32 'C (in shadow), works very well..good zooming.. weak battery..but it is ok', easy to buy spare one..

Having been unable to purchase cassettes for my previous cam recorder I had to search for a replacement I was doubtful at first but use had proved me wrong for the price I could not have done better

This is my first video camera and it has more features than I expected in a camera at this price. Very easy to use and an extensive menu for when I get more proficient. The projector was a bonus and worked much better than I expected given it's small size.

I've had my camera two weeks now and am getting familiar with it, it's quite handy for me as I have a Sony z3 phone and it's very easy to save, store, edit and just generally work with footage without the hassle of using a computer. Without a doubt it's extremely good value for money and is great for capturing family, friends, events and so on. I'm having a few problems using a microphone, could be a fault or it could be me. I'm also finding it awkward to operate the projector but I think I will get the hang of that. I would recommend this camera to friends as I doubt you could get much better value and I'm sure I will sort out my two problems, over all its a great product.

It is compact and easy to use for the holiday shots it was bought for as it is ready to go as soon as the screen is opened, the main controls are physical buttons in "natural" positions and it works well in auto mode. The anti-shake feature is effective. BUT for me the lack of an optical viewfinder is a big disadvantage as the subject on the screen is impossible to see in bright sunlight.

I bought it 3 weeks ago and used it in London to document our visit. I like it very much for several reasons: 1. it is the right size to grip it in my hand (not too small) 2. It record both MPEg-2 and MPEG-4 formats at the same time 3. Can take video and stills without changing settings. 4.Downloads to IMovie on the IMac I found 2 "problems" 1. Still pictures use 2.1 M (too low) or 9.2 M (too high). A 3M size is a minimum desirable. 2. The documentation is insufficient

This is a good,compact camera.Easy to use.Only downside is,there is no built in light,which can make night pictures rather dark.

great camera shame leads to conect to pc are not included.Had great service from wex and assistant may was agreat help

Always wanted a camcorder and glad I waited until I saw this one because it saved me getting a separate projector to show my recordings.

My brother and I jointly purchased the PJ620 a week or so ago and have not had the chance to do a lot with it yet, however one particular video shot in the back garden zoomed close in to a grey squirrel showed such detail and crispness that it would not have been out of place in a professionally made documentary. This was shot with the camcorder set to AVCHD and viewed on our Sony 55 inch 4K TV. We can't wait to take the camcorder out into the country and shoot some more.

Bought at short notice for an unexpected business trip to Australia Very pleased with lightness, battery life and picture quality After second day of use, ditched stills camera and used pj620 to take stills as well!

I bought this a month ago and I am so happy that I did!
