Rating: - Buyers Beware!Will NOT Record 16x9
There are some things I find very good about this camcorder; and some that are just unforgivable.First off, I couldn't find anywhere that said if this camcorder shot 16x9 or not; but I assumed that the suggested retail price and manufacturing date implied it did.It was idiotic for Sanyo to make this camera just 4:3(Or maybe I was foolish for having such faith in Sanyo) But we're talking about a ten dollar circuit!At the end of the first decade I'm shocked that a standard definition camera ...

Heres a list of cons of the camera.

1. doesn't work well in the dark. (few digi cams do though.and you can solve that with an infrared light)
2. theres no mic input.
3. Chances are it will take better pictures then your digital camera. This is not necessarily a con but . . . its obnoxious. I mean you got that digi cam for christmas right? how the hell can it be beat by a digi cam?????

Rating: - Great Camera - Great Camcorder
Very happy with the picture and movie quality, using it mostly for family.
The size and shape of this camera are very nice. I bought a small padded camera case and keep it in my purse all the time. It also takes nice still pictures so it's the only camera I carry now.
At this price I would definitely recommend this camera
Rating: - For the money very happy.
There were some people who really didn't like this camera and some that did.So I was worried about buying it.After getting it, I think they were both right, but maybe not why you would think so.
When I first got it, I initially went in and started playing around with the settings, and got all the problems other reviewers were talking about, the biggest being the choppy video.I wanted the HD video.
However, before writing the review and and sending it back, i put the settings back to how ... Read More
Rating: - Nice little camera
Bought this camera for general family activities, school shows, etc. about 3 months ago and it works great. Its a nice little camera to stow away in your pocket and pull out when needed. Video quality is okay for indoors in a well lit room, however it is somewhat grainy in a less than adequately lit space. Video quality is excellent for outdoors. The image quality of pictures is not that great, however, this is a video camera so that is to be expected, even at 9 MP. This camera is very comfortable and easy ... Read More
