Man! I don't have much money so i went searching for weeks for a solid MiniDv to make my films on. This one fit for me--only problem is manual focus--its hard to use. But the NitPix, Digital effects and White Balance all work pretty well. For the price its the best i found.

Purchased this camcorder just before leaving on a cross-country trip. Worked great. Now hooked up with Firewire for DV and USB for DSC. Not the best DSC, but works well for quick snapshots.
