So I was hoping for just a few things...good video quality, easy to use, lots of storage, and easy to burn onto DVD (I'm an older guy, so I didn't want to spend hours sorting out how to do all of this). This camera delivers! I just recently spent a week in Rome, and I shot video everywhere I went. I filled up 5 DVDs when I came back, and yet still had lots of available storage. The video quality is just fantastic for me...lots of great detail. I zoomed in from a distance to film the Pope in St. Peter's, and I could see him fairly clearly, considering I was quite a distance when I filmed. This camera worked like a champ! I also bought the 5-hour battery, and I never ran out of battery life. This camera is perfect for me!

You cannot go wrong with this Camera. Once you're into amateur video then you're good to go. The quality is fine, the light to the bottom is a plus for night time and the various scene settings just compounds the perfection of this little guy.

This camera is everything I was looking for in a digital camcorder. Easy to upload to the computer, nice resolution, and great in the low light situations. The size of the storage on board is awsome. The only negative is that it will not display the date or time when the data is moved off the camera. The zoom is fantastic,
