Pros: Inexpensive, easy to use, fun
Cons: low light
My wife and I were looking for an inexpensive camcorder. We came across this one an were not let down.
Considering this is about the cheapest camcorder you can buy, it has served us well.
It is easy to use. My wife started using it without reading the manual.
The battery life is about an hour, which is average.
10x optical zoom is all most people need. There is an option to turn off the digital zoom, which I do.
The low light aspect of this camera is just OK. Don't expect too much from the NZ50U in that area.
There is a still picture feature, but I don't bother. Most still pictures should be about 4MP if you want quality. You can't get 4MP from a camcorder yet.
There is a widescreen option as well. This is nothing more than the regular 4:3 ratio cropped down to widescreen. If you want true widescreen, then you need to shop for cameras with 3 CCDs - which are way out of this camera's budget.
