Reviews

HM-TA1 is rated 4.3 out of 5 by 3.
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great for the price I find that this camcorder works great for the price. A few notes though, after a week using this product the labels on the buttons are almost completely rubbed off so I have to guess what each button does now (except for the record button). The cover for the USB port doesn't pop open easily and is annoying. I took this to Mexico and found that it stops working properly at the temperatures you see in a beach environment but that is expected of any electronic device in high heat. One last note, it takes a long time to charge. Overall this is a cool camcorder. It has decent sound, great video, is easy to use and easy to interface to a computer.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from easy to use Great little video camera. It is very easy to use as far as shooting and sharing online. I like that it uses sd cards because we already have a lot of them. The editing was a snap too. Only a couple of drawbacks so far. the wrist strap should have been attached lower so it is more comfortable while using it. And the video output cable is not HDMI it's just an A/V cable. I do like the camera overall.
