 well worth the money if you are not spielberg November 27, 2006

most ppl buy too much camcorder and pay for capabilities they will never use. I am using the camcorder for home movies, and frankly dont have the time to do any major editing to make productions out of them. This is perfect for me. Movie quality is good ..more than enough for my purposes.
Had I needed to do massive editing, I would have gont a step or 2 above, but they key for me was quality of product, easy of use, quality of film.
I have a sony digicam for stills and do not intend to take stills with this. even the best camcorder stills are not at par with avg digicam stills so why pay extra to get marginally better still shot capability.
Excellent video quality with a good price. March 13, 2007

I've had no problems editing content transferred from the camcorder to my PC. I don't use the software that comes with the camcorder, I use professional editing software and I have heard it is best to buy seperate editing software when purchasing any hard drive camcorder.
The video image quality is terrific. I've edited my scenes and put together splendid DVDs, the transitions between scenes were smooth and impressive. MPEG2 isn't as compressed as MPEG4 (Divx), however it's still a good standard. Anyone who doesn't get good results needs to upgrade their PC - there is nothing less than perfect about this camcorder.
The optical zoom is good, although I wish it was 30x or 40x optical zoom. The digital zoom feature is limiting, but that is to be expected and is the case with any camcorder.
The controls are easy to use, you can perform the basic functions, zoom, record start/stop without using the touchscreen. Advanced functions are configuration options are in the touchscreen which is easy to navigate.
The camera is light and petite, and transports nicely. It fits in one hand well - when recording you can use your other hand to stabilize the shot.

Great camera for the price. Have found no problems at all! I have the extended battery and it works great. I am a novice at best when it comes to cameras but have a strong technical background. So importing the videos to the hard drive is very simple. Directly burning to DVD is extremely simple.
The night vision is pretty cool. but does not replace an actual light. but for the price it's awesome.
I just love it! May 7, 2007

We had one of those big bulky ugly Sony camcorders, but for Xmas, I told my husband I wanted a camcorder small enough to fit into my pocket book since I have two kids and I wanted to record all the cutesy things they do and say (one is 3 and the other is 8 months).
I was happy with the size of it, the weight, the quality and the ease of use. I too think that the docking station is a bit of a hassle, but overall, I love the convenience of throwing it into my pocket book without it weighing it down and causing too much strain on my shoulder. It's easy and handy whenever I need it and I can pretty much leave it anywhere around the house for quick use instead of lugging the other big one around the house or wherever I go.
more than pleased January 15, 2007
