Fantastic little Camera!

If you can afford it then get it.Buying a cheaper camera to save money is not recommended.Remember you get what you pay for,also never again have to worry about your DVD/tape running out and having to carry extras.

Small size and a huge 60 GB internal hard drive.The video quality is amazing and it takes great still shots also.I also like the 1 touch uploading to Youtube/PC and 1 touch DVD burning.It's overall the best camera we've ever owned

Excellent Camera

Small, Light weight. Great Picture quality and the light feature is excellent. the 800x digital zoom is amazing, though will require a tripod for that high of a zoom. We bought the package deal that came with a carrying case and a 3.5 hour battery...

Original battery only has a life span of 1.5 hours. We purchased a larger battery when we purchased the camera. 1.5 hours doesnt take long at all to use. Could have found a better place for the battery. With the way you hold the camera, the thumb...

A joy to own and use

This is a great camcorder. Very very easy to use and capable of producing some truly excellent results. The battery life on mine has been excellent so far and transferring videos to the PC could not be easier. The 60Gb HDD provides heaps of storage so...

pleasing engineering

I bought this camera in may but it was for my birthday in june so have only just tried it out, It would seem to be a very well constructed piece of equipment with pinpoint optics easy to use and it it very compact. I am very pleased with it so far.

Almost perfect

I would give this 4 and 1/2 stars but that option is not available.

I would give this 4 and 1/2 stars but that option is not available. For £200 from Amazon this is easily the best value for money camcorder out there. The reason being that it offers very good quality standard definition video with 60gb hard drive....
