A great value

Author's Rating: Rating: 5/5 stars

Pros: Great picture, good sound, perfect size, mini-dv format

Cons: Bottom-loading tape, some low-light issues

Bottom Line:
It's a great value, especially now that it's discontinued. You can find on ebay for $200ish, and I believe it's better than some of the most recent "tiny" mini-dv camcorders. Read More
