"What's not to like?"
Pros: Small, easy to use, great video and great pictures
Cons: Somewhat grainy in low light.
Summary: This camera is amazing for the mom or dad who needs a high quality video camera that can capture the moments of your life in vivid color. The optics are great and the still camera takes very crisp pictures. This camera is so easy to use and has great features for more experienced video folk. With fire wire on your computer the transfer is fantistic. You can convert you old 8mm tapes by connecting to the camera then running the fire wire from the camera to the computer. Top rate product that is simply a blast to use (I love the night vision). The indoor low light shooting leaves a little more to be desired, but with that said it is still better than my old Sony 8mm. The normal light shooting and outdoor is simply amazing. The colors are brilliant and crisp. Make sure you get the filter set (UV,Polorized and Florescent). These are a simple must have. The UV filter screws on the lense of the camera and you just leave it on. If you scratch it just by a new one (rather than have it permanently scratched on the camera). The other filters simply screw on right on top of it, so it is very simple. I love the burst rate of the photo camera function. It bursts about 10 pictures in one second. For the money ($800, included regular battery, FP70 long life battery, 3 lense kit shipping and tax)this camera is simply a fantastic buy.
