4.0 out of 5 stars An outstanding electronic device (for the price)., July 19, 2001

By	D. Stewart "O&A" (Roanoke, VA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I haven't used very many camcorders yet, so I don't think I can fairly compare the ES420V against the competition. I can tell you that while I was impressed with all the features of the camcorder, I found it hard to hold and confusing to use ONLY at first. The video quality was impressive though, especially considering the relatively low expenditure. Compared to the Canon Elura2, I'd choose the Elura2 -- it's a bit easier to use and includes impressive stills. If you're in the market for a camcorder under [price], the ES420Vis ideal!
