I bought two Sony 610's as Christmas gifts so my children can video the grandchildren. They love it. The lighting is great and the clarity of sound was surprising. Great quality for the price!

We bought this camcorder as a gift for my parents and the absolutely love it. It's extremely easy to use and the video image quality is excellent. If I had to nit pick my only complaint would be the size of the LCD touch screen, but that's to be expected with such a small piece of equipment. Overall, great camcorder.
