Rating: - A super little camcorder
I have used this camera for 9 months now and I like it more and more. I get excellent movies. I have made 8 2 hour movies from around the world. My friends and I enjoy watching them on our 50 inch flat screen TV. The result is amazing from such a tiny camera. Indoor pictures as well as outdoor pictures have the quality of professional films on the TV. My Hawaii movies showed excellent quality of the Hula dancing even taken in very poor light. It is very easy to handle. The only negative I found so ... Read More

if people see you that you are shooting a video, they act differently and I it's ... Read More

My biggest complaints:1) the flash- it says that red-eye reduction is built in, but it does not do the double-flash-thing.Everyone's eyes are glowing in the pictures we took with this thing.Sure, ... Read More
Rating: - Nice 720p camcorder.
I don't know much about camcorders (this is my first), but I like this one.It seems to have plenty of manual settings.It actually works pretty well indoors (in low light).At first, I was picking up a lot of noise.I adjusted the ISO setting to darken the image.The video was still plenty bright, and most of the noise was gone.My only complaint with this camcorder is the handling.There is no good hand strap (just a lanyard) and the camcorder is just somewhat awkward to hold (it seems like most pistol ...
