Very good camera if you have a lot of light
We have owned this camera for over a year and our feelings are mixed:For outdoor filming, this camera is outstanding.The color and picture quality are top notch.Unfortunately, indoor filming is very poor (even during the daytime with all of our windows open and lights on).We bought the camera to film our young children and find ourselves not turning the camera on as much as we should because there is not enough light (and we have a very bright house).The manual settings on the camera are nice (one...

Fantastic outdoor camera
I shot over twenty hours of footage on this camera with brilliant results.The 2.2 megapixel ccd makes for outstanding video quality outdoors.Because my video is shot in widescreen, my friends often tell me my home movies look like independent feature films.When there is enough lighting, you will be impressed with this camera.Unfortunately, when the lighting goes down, this camera has pretty poor results.For instance, you will often see ghosting of video because the automatic shutter kicks in to...

So far, so good.... and a little word to the Canon-hater!
First, about the camera. I've only had the Optura for about two weeks. I've only used it indoors and the quality is acceptable under moderate indoor lighting. Is it great? No, but it's also not a pro camera. The quality seems to be a little better than the Sony it replaced, as far as I can tell. That's about all I can say at this point. I did notice the battery going down pretty quickly, but at this point for my family, a battery that needs to be charged often isn't a big deal. If and when it is...

Awesome little camcorder packed with features.
The Pro's1. I don't see what all the fuss is about with the low light? From what I was reading I think Canon made some changes around July of 2004 to improve this feature. I was worried about this so I did a test in the basement with minimal lighting. The result was a little bit grainy but if I you are shooting video footage in the dark what do you expect? Compared to my other JVC it was 3 times better in the low light performance.2. The next best thing is the WIDE ANGLE!!!! My JVC stretches and...

Bad Indoor performance kills an otherwise 5 star camera.
2 1/2 stars..Good feel and Features saves it from a 2 star rating. With minimal low light performance, this camera would have been 5 stars.I tried both this camera and the Elura 65/70 side by side.While I prefered the feel and overall features of the Optura, the low light is so bad on the Optura, that I ended up selecting the Elura 70.Overall, the Elura hasbetter video performance for less money. And isn't video performance the top reason to buy a camcorder?Low light is relative.. I'm talking regular...
