"Great all in one"
Pros: very easy to work
picture quality is great
video quality is also greatCons: a little hard to hold focus when fully zoomed
Summary: Tested camera against my Canon 20D SLR
Tested camcorder against my Sony HD Camcorder
You would have to be a professional to figure which was better on both counts.
For a point and shoot, it cannot possibly get any better.
The software was also very simple, burning a hd dvd no problem (you need a dvd player that will play "avchd", my 2 year old blu ray does so I'm sure most any will) or you can burn your video in sd format for any player (I have not checked this quality.)
I have a couple of thousand dollars worth of cameras I will be gladly setting on my shelf and replacing with this one in my pocket.
I ordered this Camera for my father, when I got it I could not help testing it.
I am looking for one now for myself. I showed the pics and video to my brother he said order him one. I hope they pay me back.

True, the picture quality is good on this one.

Great review. Another fan of fixed lens cameras over dSLR's. I'll never go back to carrying all that "stuff" around again when these pocket sized cameras can do the job 99% of us will even need.
