I just got back from a 3 week romp in europe and this camera did more than I expected, light and very compact. JVC also provide the user with everything you'll need to begin and the charger is dual voltage so just buy the adapter ... and just go. Picture quality is Awesome, but the still are not to good, I really should read the instructions maybe I'm missing somthing.

This is a great product! It's lightweight, durable and very easy to use. You can add neat effects to what you are filming and can edit them using the software included. One very small yet a flaw none the less is that I can't find any more batteries for the camcorder and I'm stuck with one that doesn't last very long if you're constantly using it. All in all this is a great product that I'd highly recommend.
