Easy Great Picture Quality AND VERY WORTH BUYING

If you want "easy," don't buy this.

Two out of four DVD attempts have been successful with this camera. A 50% success rate is not good enough when you're relying on a video camera to record important events. We have an entire trip to Yosemite that we can't watch because the camera claims...
