This is my first DVD camcorder. Did lots of reserch on consumer reports and CNET which simply told me every camera you buy under $600.00 will have some sort of flaw, whether it's not enough zoom, poor low light, image stabilizer issues or poor video quality. My only complaints with this camera are the image stabilizer and low light video capture which is not that great. Most cameras I read about had atleast one of these issues as well. In good lighting conditions or outside this is an incredible camera and picture. Very life like on my 62" HD. It does have a front ligth which works well in certain conditions although blinds people. The night mode "jogs" the picture and is completely useless unless nothing is moving. All and all this camera looks and feels expensive and appears to be put together very well. For under $500.00 I was hard pressed to find another camera of this quality. The 10x zoom is plenty and the zoom itself is smooth. If you can find another camera for this price and quality which produces better low light shooting and has a better image stabilizer, I would buy it. Good luck! I rate it at a 7.
