"Easy to Use, Not Disks Needed, Small Size"
Pros: Size, Nice Screen, Sound on Playback Good
Cons: Assoc software diificult to use, Playback sound on camera lousy
Summary: I bought the camera to film my son and his rock band and for the family. I liked the no disk req'd. Found it very easy to use, produced great video, and the compact size lets's me put it in my coat pocket. Intitial setup was easy though instructions are a little confusing. You get a set for 5 languages, a waste of paper. Zoom is great and focus was always right on. Picture color was realistic and I'm very happy with the camcorder. I'm not too happy with the software included. It's a "lite" version and it has conflicted with other programs, hung, and is difficult to get a disk burned to just a straight DVD format. Upgrading the software is expensive. Support is through a Japanese website and voice support is through Cyberlink for a fee. Support is limited on the software given.
If you're looking for a great little camcorder I would recommend this one, but find another software to use to make DVDs or produce movies with.

I use Pinnacle Systems "Studio" for editing - originally came with a "Dazzle 150" analog-to-digital converter for my older videos. It's pretty reliable (just be sure you have lots of memory and disk). The basic version of Studio (which I use) has a pretty good feature set; extra cost "plus" adds some snazzy features like P-I-P, chroma-key, etc.

In my ever search for a decent camcorder that can produce decent quality video and be able to easliy rip on DVD, I came acros this camera. The convenience is the only redeeming quality. Evrything else is terrible. Poor resolution. The picture gets blury aound the edges. the colrs are dull and it is especially bad in artificial light in a room. So my search continues. There is just no good camera on the market right now that can deliver everything...........
