With good lighting...stunning HD images Oct 09, 2008
I've had the camera now for a month. It's pretty straight forward to use and all features seem to work as described. I bought a mini-HDMI cable (also from amazon) and played video back on my 50in plasma straight from the camera. Great pictures with good lighting...ie outside in the daytime and inside with all the lights on. The image deteriorates rapidly in lower light, gets very grainy. Sound is OK but if you want the sound to equal picture quality in good lighting, you probably need an external mic...I imagine this is the same for any camcorder.
I have yet to download video onto a computer however. I little apprehensive based on all the comentary about download speed and computer requirements. I actually am in the market for a new computer...so in the mean-time I bought a few of the 16GB cards. 4GB equals about 30 minutes in the highest resolution.
Summary. Very pleased. Worth the money. Straight-forward function. Need a good computer.

Fantastic Camera Oct 09, 2008
If you have an HD-TV this camera is the way to go. it is much cheaper than the newer models and the picture quality is great! I am not a technically savvy person and found this camera very easy to use. Save money! Buy this one over the newer models.

really nice, better than you see Oct 08, 2008
This is really a cool one, I bought it for my dad's gift. He really likes it. Everyone should buy one!

Great Camcorder Oct 07, 2008
I really have enjoyed this camcorder. Easy to use. Small in size, big in features.

My only issue has been with my iMac in terms that it can take forever for iMovie to detect the camera. But I think that has to do with the Mac not the camera.

After considerable research, I settled on this camera as a birthday present for my husband. He is delighted with it's features, size, and convenience of operation. Delivery was great through Amazon.com
