I purchased this camcorder because it was very small, i never expected it to have such a great picture quailty, but it has turned out to be a great investment. I took it to Las Vegas and i have returned with very crisp beautiful pictures still and video. if you are not an professinal i would highly recommend it.
Great Camera for the price But not for Indoor or Night use

I just bought camera about a month ago and have used it during my wedding and honeymoon. This camera is Great if you want to take outside shots. It stores everything to a 2GB sd card which gives you about 1hr of record time. I bought 3 cards but only used 1 card for the whole honeymoon etc... and to off load it to a PC is so easy. I love it but my only complain is it's poor capturing in low light. Inside buildings with low light come out even darker than normal and u can forget about recording anything at night but for the price it's great.
Decent value

Has a nice big bright LCD screen.
br /Zoom occurs in eight rapid "click-stop" stages, not smoothly like more expensive camcorders.
br /After pushing the "ON" button, this camcorder is ready to go in about four seconds.
br /There's a threaded hole on the bottom for tripod placement.
br /There's no lens cover included, and since the lens is almost flush with the body of the unit, there's no way to use one.
br /Unit has a flat bottom, but with the LCD screen pivoted open, unit become "left-heavy" and will tip over.
