Sadly this has been a huge disappointment not because of any performance problems but because it is the most frustrating Sony product I have ever bought. The instructions are woefully complex and simply unfathomable despite my 25 years of computer experience and a lifetime of cameras. I have had to go by dead reckoning to get anything out of it and whilst it certainly works, understanding how to use the menu and to understand any simple day to day use is just completely ridiculous. The remote screen is clever but the finger grip it fits into is one of the worst bits of design I have encountered and it takes brute force to get it to fit and crazy force to get it off to charge it up again. It is a very badly designed force fit and I have spent a lot of time taking care that it was fitting correctly...again the drawn picture instructions are hopeless. Then...so far, in the remote screen, I can only see images that are up upside down whichever way I set it up or hold it and no, the instructions offer no explanation or help that I can find. That the camera is superb, I have no doubt but as I recall with all Sony products I have bought before, the instructions are World Class useless. It may be the best camera but the detail design and user experience render it a very regretted purchase.
UPDATE: The upside down pictures in the remote can be corrected if you find a rectangle with apostrophe marks around it. This is called “Flip” and that corrects the display. WHY the supplied factory default is different is a mystery. It took me some time discovering this after a SONY approved camera shop had no idea how to put it right! Also...three hours of dead reckoning work and I have made progress. I repeat that it is a very good camera indeed...I DO like it but would sack the person looking after product instruction leaflets!
Update: This camera is just about useless...I bought it for a holiday that was rather special to me but despite much preparation and trying to understand the thing, I got just one 5.23 long film without sound. No matter what I do, try or research, no sound is recorded and using it is just horrible. As I said before, the instructions terrible and Sony Support is hopeless as you get a person who only answers in set phrases and does not understand or respond to any questions...it is like speaking to a machine. Now do not dismiss me as some daft old idiot who cannot use technology...I operate a lot of his gah end complex electronics but never have I encountered such a poor design as this. Forget the good reviews...buy something else..ANYTHING ELSE...a total waste of money!
