Total Garbage
It's difficult to translate into suitable words how I feel about this camcorder.To set the stage, I run a software development company and consider myself extremely comfortable with technology.So I'm no amature user of video and software.This camcorder produces fairly decent image quality in it's middle of the road resolution, but you can only fit about 30 minutes of record time on one of the min-DVD disks, if you want more time on one disk, you need to record at the lowest resolution, which is...

overall good
Overall, we like the camcorder... love the technology.The day after I got it, I used the camcorder to shoot video of my cousin's HS graduation.The downfall is the software, I still haven't gotten it installed and haven't taken the time to research.I have a scandisk drive to load pic and works well.Because there is no flash, pics at night aren't great, but overall I have liked the pictures.Because the camera is only 1 MP, they aren't going to be SUPER pictures, but good for capturing pics to send...

Good movie camera, worthless for still pictures
The camera works fine for movies and it is a gread widget as DVD and DVD-RAM writer, SD card reader/writer, etc.However as a still picture camera it is a useless crap.If a medium or darker object appears at the front of a bright background, like a mountain with white clouds behind or an object at the front of a white wall, then that object will be outlined with a thick black pencil.THE RESULTING PICTURE IS WASTE OF THE STORAGE....

Good alternative to mini-DV
I have had a mini-DV camcorder for a couple of years, but when a friend bought this DVD camcorder, I became jealous.I had left the mini-DV out in the sprinkler about a year ago, and it finally succomed to reclaimed water rot (actually quite a ringing endorsement for my old Canon ZR-10 that it could withstand that).This was my excuse to buy this camcorder.The quality of the video is fine - but not quite as good as mini-DV.Also, I would like a wide-screen mode, like was available on the ZR-10.It is...

Great hardware, horrible software
This camcorder is what many have waited for: consumer grade digital video without tape.The decision to use mainly DVD-R or DVD-RAM is best made early.For me, DVD-R is still too expensive to use.DVD-RAM allows reuse, as well as in-camera editing.But don't be fooled by this editing capability, this camera would be extremely frustrating without a computer for offline processing...Which brings us to the bundled software.As a Mac user, and knowing that video is still very Mac-friendly, the Windows-only...
