Sony HDR-PJ200 High Definition Handycam 5.3 MP Camcorder with 25x Optical Zoom and Built-in Projector (Black) (2012 Model)

Camera and projector work great and arrived much earlier than expected.The camera has a pretty great, clear image for a low price and fits right in the palm of your hand. The camera can take still photos or videos and the projector allows you to view your footage right there with other people without having to huddle together to see the screen. Overall a great camera for a low cost.WORD OF ADVICE: I bought this used and found some.... interesting footage already saved to the camera. Always remember to delete the videos of your "intimate time" before selling a camera

I got a used one for $129.99. It was supposed to be in like new condition, but when I got it, fingerprints were on the screen and lens, and what I thought was bread crumbs were stuck to the screen too, but that kind of stuff is manageable. Also, the language was set to Spanish, which was a little frustrating, but I managed to switch it back to English. I wasn't too upset about the language thing because I figured the person who had it last must've been Hispanic, but what did kind of upset me was that an SD card was still in the camcorder, with nothing cleared out of it! There were still family photos and random videos of this Hispanic person on there, but other than that the camcorder still worked well and was actually pretty cool. This was a gift for my close friend, and she loved it since she's into filming.

I purchased this item through Amazon and it arrived within 4 days. I read the specs and thought it would be great for travel and special occasions. I was first surprised by it's light weight and feel , being mainly plastic based. I found it quite easy to use, although anyone with big hands might find manoeuvering the zoom toggle a bit cumbersome. Well I took some photos of a recent family gathering and found that the resolution of indoor photos were kind of OK, but not of a great quality, even with adequate lighting. Outdoor shots were only marginally better. The projector worked fine and all present were impressed with the versatility of the handycam, but not the quality of the projection. For a distance of about three to four feet, the projection quality is tolerable , any more than that is garbled garbage. I take photos of a superior quality with my 5.0 MP phone. I would like to see the quality of the larger family of this brand (260 or higher ) to guage the suitability of this line as to a good or great product.PROS: Easy to use, east portability , family oriented.CONS: Too much plastic. Not great enough resolution of photos. Mediocre projection quality.Would recommend as a starting product.

The quality of the video is very good, the caera is easy to use. The software you can download from Sony makes it easy to burn disks. The small size makes it easy to carry. The built-in projector works well.

Brightness was not good when compared with new one that i have already . Brightness is very loooooowwwwww

seldom used now at home

My 11 year old son is into Kart Racing and I used my husband's JVC Camcorder to record all of my son's feature races. The JVC is about 16 years old and while it takes good pictures, it is bulky and a little heavy and almost impossible to find the tapes for it anymore. I wanted something small and lightweight that I could bring to the track with me and this little guy is it! It fits in the palm of your hand and takes amazing pictures! I can't wait to bring it to the track this Spring!

A must get product! Easy to use, projector is awesome, and the battery life is normal. Never had any issues!
