I need more time to work with the camcorder

 

I haven't had enough time to work with the Camcorder to give a fair evaluation. So far I have taken only 4 videos, but haven't had a chance to edit or enhance the videos. The camcorder seems very easy to work with. Downloading is also quite easy.

Seems easy enough

Not sure

This is my first ever VC and it is easy to use!

 

As mentioned, this is my very first camcorder which I bought for the good price. It was very easy to set up and use. The battery life on a std setting was about 3 hrs, so I'm finding myself looking at either a travel charger or getting an extra battery...

Still pictures are dark. No wireless remote

Does not download to a Mac

 

I bought this because of the recommendation the Blue Shirt gave me on the picture quality. She was right, when I hook this up to the TV it has a great picture even in low light situations. What she did not tell me is when using the highest picture...
