Best value for your buck!!!

Author's Rating: 5/5 stars

Pros: High optical zoom, great normal light video quality and good stills for a camcorder!!!

A high-end camera for a mid-range price!

Author's Rating: 4/5 stars

Pros: Near-broadcast quality video, ease of use, accessory hot shoe, large LCD, excellent features.

Cons: Bottom-loading tape, non-extendable view finder, larger than pocket-size.

Bottom Line:
A high-end camera at a mid-range price. With near broadcast-quality video and features you'd expect from a camera costing twice as much, this camera is an incredible value! Read More

Motor noise ruins that great camera !

Pros: Great picture, lots of manual settings, comfortable to handle.

Cons: Motor noise picked up by built in mic; 16:9 feature useless when shooting.

Bottom Line:
You can shop around to find a camcorder with better audio (less noisy motor) but you will not find any with that picture quality and all these features Read More
