 Excellent camcorder for the money! October 31, 2008
Don't be fooled by some of these other reviews. People just need to realize that your computer from 2004 just does not cut it anymore. I have a circa 2007 HP slimline computer and everything was 100% compatible. I took the HDSC card out of the camera...plugged it directly into the computer and it played instantly on my Windows Media Player. The zoom is great. Battery life is as expected. The size is perfect for travel. I recommend this item to anyone. As always, Amazon had great pricing and if you are not a Prime member yet...have your head examined!!! I paid $3 and it was here the next day!

We used this camera for our wedding and it worked out beautifully. We just passed it around to whomever was interested in taping for a while. No one had any problems figuring out how to use it, and it had enough internal memory to capture the whole day. Only complaint would be the battery life. The battery life indicator is a little mis-leading, as it goes from 2 hours left down to 10 minutes left in about 40 minutes. Overall, this is a great product.
An Amazing Product October 19, 2008

This is truly an amazing camera. It is very small; easy to carry. Video picture quality is excellent. As are individual snap shots. Has fantastic telephoto (48x Advanced Zoom) BUT, I find I need help on holding Camera steady when shooting high levels of telephoto. I plan on getting a monopod rather than a tripod simply to have the advantage of a more compact, easier to carry unit.
If you are looking for a sub-compact size video - the Canon FS 10 with 8GB internal memory - is the one.
Great product October 18, 2008

Finally a digital camcorder that won't break your bank but is not skimping on the features. I tried other digital camcorders in the past, from the cheaper $100 range, and they all have two major flaws: lack of image stability control and poor performance in low light. This one overcomes both and I'm very happy with it. It also takes decent pictures, although it doesn't match current cameras resolution.
It works with a mac! October 4, 2008
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
It works with my macbook! I was a little concerned when I first tried to install the software. I did not think it was going to work. iMovie recognized the files straight from the camera though.
1) Plug the camera into the electrical socket
2) Make the camera switch set to "play video"
3) Choose the "printer/PC" option on the camera's screen
4) Launch iMovie, it recognizes the camera!
I did not end up even needing to install the software it came with. (ImageMixer 3 SE or the Digital Video Solution Disk Ver.30.0)
I realize this isn't really a review about the camera itself, but I was stumped for a few minutes on how to use the software on my mac... which it turns out I did not need to.
The camera itself seems to be working great so far .... but I only just got it today. Clear picture and audio. So far so good.
