"Not all it's cracked-up to be" on by LoopsLP
Pros: Nifty new features if your a computer brainiac
Cons: Good luck using the disc for anything
Summary: I'm taking mine back. I wanted to be able to copy to disc and edit on windows. no-can do! Tech support was less than helpful, driver download didn't do anything for me. Software wasn't available or included to use with my PC. Couldn't get the USB to work either. Colossal waste of time for a $500 camera.

"REALLY GOOD" on by markharrison7872
Pros: easy to use and record and edit from
Cons: havent relly found none of yet and i was given it as a birthday present for my youtube videos
Summary: i've not had any problems using this camcorder, so i dont really understand the slating that its been getting in the reviews, i use avs video converter with this to convert to avi, pinnacle to record from it to my editng studio, so all the people out there saying they cant use it in there pc, you must be doing something seriously wrong, as ive found it very easy to use and play around with, you get two options when you choose to format the discs, my advice is this, select the one that allows you to be able to play the disc in another dvd player and go from there. its really a sinch once you get the hang of it, saying that though im currently in the process of saving up for a cam with good night vision capabillities, but thats not cause this one is no good, its so i can record the things i do from multiple angles and im away, any suggestions from the c-net community on what kind of night vision cams are really good and for a decent price, like NOT in the thousand pound range?

"Discs produced tend to be unreadable/uncopyable" on by Yashmyn
Pros: Video quality is good when played back on the camcorder itself.
Cons: It's hard to play discs directly in other DVD players because some discs considered unreadable. Also the camcorder frequently needs to be reset. Frustrating when trying to capture a moment that won't stand still for you.
Summary: If you want to make copies of your DVDs to give to others, don't use this camera. I tried to use Windows DVD Maker, and I've even tried a Roxio package, and so far two of the 20 discs I recorded on are considered unreadable. (I can play them on the camcorder fine, but I can't copy them.) Have to say that it was refreshing to read the other complaints, because for the past week I thought it was just me. Borrow the camera from someone else and use it and try to copy the DVDs you make, before you buy it.

"great product for great price" on by seanjohn000
Pros: It uses the ram format so you can record up to 10000 times
Cons: there could have been a back light
Summary: it's a great camcorder. It does not need a digital cam. camcorder digital cameras are never good anyways. just use a real digital camera if you want to take pics.I can take the ram disk out and pop it in my laptop and edit anything I wan't with ease.
