"A good buy"
Pros: Quality of Video
Cons: Poor low light performance
Summary: After returning 2 camcorders finally got one camcorder that met my budget and my liking.
Pros:
* Great movie quality at bright light.
* Nice look and feel.
* Steady shots and good zoom.
* Great movie resolution when transfering to PC/DVD.
Cons:
* Low light performance is not up to the mark.
* Video streaming only possible with firewire or 1394 cable and it does not come with it.
* comes with only 16MB SD card.
* Poor still resolution.

Unfortunately, today market is that way in order to reduce price to be competitive. Firewire or 1394 cable is not supplied and cost a lot, same as the SD card that you do have to buy separately, but if you does it, camera supports just to 512 Mb card high speed and performs fine with hundreds of still pictures depending on super fine, fine or low resolution and a very crisp video just enough to have nice video clips that you can send to Palm handhelds very easy. The 169 manual pages explain many advantages that are not included in advertising. Just to say you can take tape videos and later copy them to the SD card and, or, to convert tape to still pictures (on the SD) as per your choice in a very simple way.
I think the Elura 80 is a great camera. -
