"good all in one camera/video."
Pros: Small, easy to use.
Cons: very poor quality video.
Summary: If you want good videos look elswhere. its okay as long as you have lots of light. Try to video in the evening, or indoors and you won't even be able to focus. I tried to video my daughter this evening with the lights turned down a little low(I could see fine) and camera wouldn't pick up any light at all. I like that the camera works as a pc cam, although the mic does not work as a pc mic, so all you get it video.. no audio. The photo quality is a lot better than the video. I wish they would have added a focus assist lamp because auto focus is a little slow. the camera starts up fast as long as you don't turn it off. just close the fold down lcd and it goes into 'standby mode', open it again and its ready to shoot. but turning it off and on takes a little time. you need to hold in on the power button for 2 long seconds before it starts to power up, or down. which seems a little silly because the power button is very small and a little difficult to press so it is very unlikely that you could bump it on accident. The camera is easy to hold. It feels very good in my hands. the buttons are well situated. You will need to remember to press a button next to the flash in order for it to pop up and turn on. otherwise you won't get flash. press it again for red eye, and again to turn it off.
I am glad I purchased this camera. I don't like hauling bulky video cameras, and this seems to do fine as long as sufficient light is available.
