    After watching the camcorder industry for as long as we have, you begin to see trends that play out from year to year.

    The videos are recorded with an extension. MOD, who only played in the computer program that comes bundled, but if the change in the computer for the extension. MPG and then we can play with any player you have installed.

    Buy the additional BN-VF823 (2190 mAh) battery.. the additional run time will be appreciated when in use. Best if used with Windows and an add-on Video editing program. Read more
