Please be accurate with you information on the GZ-MC200

This is a great camcorder. Ray Price is incorrect on the 4 gig limit as I am running a high speed 8 gig cf card and it works fine. I get 2 hours 9 minutes out of the card on ultra fine and about 30% less battery drain than the micro drive. I really like this camcorder....

Excellent! More than pleased... and still just as good as the newer, more expensive larger-capacity JVC models.

Of course you've already read the con's about low light performance, but you can fix this by setting the "M" mode (manual)to "Cloudy" and selecting 1/30-1/60th shutter speed. I use 1/30th - and it's works like a charm.Honestly, anyone who complains about low-light problems must be referring to shooting in near total darkness because with 1 20 watt bulb in the room, the lighting is sufficient.It's true it gets warm... but so does my PocketPC when it's writing to its media card or when it's processing...

Nearly perfect except in low light

Pros:- Great video quality if the light is good- Great sound quality if the person shooting doesn't talk too loud- Great size- Massive convenience of not having to rip and encode videoCons:- Terrible (useless) video quality in low light- Cannot focus in low light (making even still photos with flash difficult)- Sensitive mike results in audio distortion is person shooting talks loudly- S-l-o-w cold start- No flash shoe or tripod mountThe above pretty much sums up all that is good/bad with this camera...

Important tip for indoors shooting

Had this camera for a month, used it extensively in recent vacation.Bottom line it's a superb video camera. Video clips are very high quality with a lot of details and good colors; you just can't believe such great quality video came form this tiny camera.Its biggest selling point of quick PC transfer and fast DVD creation works extremely well. I've transferred 41min of video to my old PC and burned a DVD within 21minutes from start to finish with only a few mouse clicks.Best by the way is to use...
