Great camera for the moderate user

Pros: Ease of use, light to carry, quality of image
Cons: It's not the latest technology
The Bottom Line:
Very handy to have video capability, for not very much money - the price has come down quite a bit
I've had this camera for a couple of years, and for someone with no kids, that doesn't really have a lot of use for the latest technology and all the "bells and whistles" - this is the product.
There are times when a video camera comes in very handy, but for people with no kids, let's face it, it's not all that often. Nonetheless, it's sure nice to have, and the image it produced of a Florida sunset is very satisfactory. I also used the camera to record our posessions before a move, and the image quality was excellent, including color reproduction. I recommend getting a tripod.
For someone that doesn't need digital technology, but is willing to spend a few hundred dollars to have the availability of video, this is a great product. It took us a few tries to figure out the video playback through the TV/VCR.
