"Pretty careless experience"
Pros: good video quality, nothing more, nothing less...
Cons: menus a bit too heavy to work with
Summary: I think it never allows you to start finalizing if the AC is not switched ON, But disconnecting AC while finalizing is bad news. That`s time and power consuming process and if it runs out of power before completing, bye bye data...
I have shot 100+ cheap -R discs, LP mode on most of them, 2 lost data, not a bad percentage overall...
Once I dropped it on a wooden floor from about 1.5 meters while walking and shooting. The disc finalized and the drop was recorded flawlessly.
Even il LP mode (1 hour disc record) the video quality is decent. XP/SP/LP can be switched at any time.
Fits in any pocket.
I use it 3 years with no service required, battery life still good (I have 2),it`s a well built product.
Hundreds and hundreds 1280/768 stills can be shot on a single disc, or on a miniSD card while shooting video, but I never got SD, I use the disc.
Apart from that: Sometimes it takes long time from switch ON to start shooting.
Menus a bit clumsy - go to an on/off option, select it, enters an on/off menu move to "on", select it, time passes....
Somting always must be changed - put a new battery, in few minutes the disc is over - change the disc...
Lens angle not wide enough, and check the wide converter`s price.
Never get too far from a power outlet, that laser is powerthursty.
Oh I forgot to mention that`s my first cam I`ve ever had, can`t compare it with anothers, may be worse than I think.
Ovwerall look for a carrying bag, 2 batteries and a disc pack in one kit on a good price.
