If you are looking for the best quality Video, this camcorder will deliver. It has the larger CCD and supporting electroinics to produce better video and stills. PC Magazine gave it a glowing review a few months ago and their testing is pretty thorough for camcorders. I bought the camcorder on their recommendation andconcur with their review.
What I Like:
Compact Size
Excellent Video with Decent Stills
Flash Capability
Battery run-time
Build quality
Control responsiveness
Fast start-up (Recording Video)
Accessing Scenes (Video) by selecting thumbnails
Conversion to DVD is easy
Optical Zoom is high quality (Carl Zeiss Lens)
What I didn't Like:
Cost
flimsy tripod mount
manuals could use improvement
Reecod time limited to 30 minutes a side in highest quality mode
cost of RW mini DVD media is still too high
Recommendation:
If high quality video is your main buying criteria with 3 megapixel digital stills a secondary requirment, this camcorder cannot be beat for coveing video and stills in one chassis.
