 Sony? WTH are you thinking? May 31, 2010

I bought a new Sony SLR, a new Sony computer, a new Sony portable MP3 player, a new Sony Ereader and this POS camera back in Sept of last year. This camera is horrible. I sometimes wonder who in the h*ll is running Sony at times.
Computer is not as good as the two Vaio's I purchased in 2001 and 2005.
Sony Portable MP3 player is decent.
Ereader has been excellent.
The SLR camera has been very good.
But this camcorder sucks.
 Great product.. March 24, 2010

Very easy to use. Slim. Great picture quality. Should have been better at low light. GPS works great. Works with MAC OSX. Thank you Sony. Two thumbs up.
GREAT HD Camera! Low light quality could improve. March 9, 2010

I've had this camera for about 1-year and absolutely love it. My only gripe about it, as many others have mentioned, is how the quality of the image suffers in low light. This is not uncommon with pocket-sized cameras like the HDR-TG5V. Sound quality, GPS features and touch screen navigation are easy to use and do their job well.
Sony Video my kind of camera December 7, 2009

I am crazy about Sony gadgets, saw this cute little HD camcoder, though it is priced little high I bought it.
Ease of use - There are no too many buttons to operate. It is simple and handy.
Battery Life - Though the specs say the battery can last for 2 hours of video, you loose battery when you replay videos or review pictures. Overall I felt it is better to carry a 2nd spare battery when you are going out
Video in good light - Simply superb
Video in low light - gets grainy, you might start thinking if it is really a HD cam or not.
Audio - crystal clear. Though 5.1 dolby has been removed, 2.1 sounds great
GPS - I had been to India for vacation and there were no maps for major cities
Overall:
I rate this as a great handy HD camcoder + still camera in good light but not so good in bad light. I hope Sony rectifies these things in their future releases.
