Consumer review by: amigadude (cnet.com)

Very good for the money

Although it is missing a lot of features, in comparison to the GS39 or GS59, it is pretty neat. The 30X optical zoom is a definite plus.

This camera is small, light, and very capable of taking videos in a variety of settings. The electronic image stabilization works--somewhat. Apparently you can take a snapshot while videotaping. I have not tried this feature

The power cord connector is behind the battery. The led video light is not bright enough nor does it reach far enough. Using the LCD monitor drains the CGR-DU06 7.2V 640mAh battery. There is no USB connection for downloading to a PC

A basic but good camcorder

The video quality of the camcorder is pretty good for the price I paid. It has all the user features that most people would use, but not a lot of extras that a seasoned user expects. All the user controls are at your fingertips, it is lightweight and...

Very easy to use, Image quality is good

Only has Firewire connector not USB, Poor image quality in low light

Good, basic, & cheap MiniDV camera

For the price, you get a very good MiniDV camera that is suitable for most people. The weaknesses listed are actually not that bad given the inherent limitations of these video cameras. The LED lights used on these cameras are usually only good to...

Good video quality, excellent optical zoom, good battery life

Lack of external SD card slot for pictures, no light, not widescreen

Fun Camera

First, I want to complement Amazon on their speedy delivery of this camera. I ordered the camera one morning and received it the next day. Now that is service. Now for the camera, I bought it as a gift for a first time digital camera user and I have to...
