This is a really nifty piece of equipment. Easy and fun to just pick up and use and great for making home movies. I would recommend to both people who are novices to camcorders and also to people who are more experienced videographers.

Very good to use if you want to use say panicle software you can only import as DVD titles if I were going to buy again I would think about mini tape better for editing
