A must have.

BUYER BE WARNED!

 

Daylight Video Performance: This camcorder has outstanding crisp daylight video performance. Jaw dropping at times. But who wants to shoot videos only broad daylight.

Easy to carry, Just perfect !

 

Bought it for a trip and found it extremely easy to learn to operate and use. It's small size and lite weight allowed me to carry it easily and unobtrusively. Zoom was great.
