The cam is very cool, easy to use, small. The only problem that i see, is that when u shoot and move the cam fast and u are using the top quality in the camcorder setup, the image looks like lines and very ugly. U must take care of not move the cam soo fast. But it works great.

Well, This is the first cam I bought all by myself and for my personal use. I had been raised between gadgets from my childhood and used some of the best stuff I could lay my hands on.This camera first of all is very user friendly. I was actually shooting in the first 5 mins of unpacking it. Discounting the experience I have, I guess it would be the same for a novice. Its a great buy. ti just gets a bit shaky when you have zoomed great lengths. It would always be advisable to get a tripod.

The pro’s are: it is compact, has great optical zoom, great lense, easy and simple to use menus, provides good deal of memory for recording. I am pretty happy getting 30gig and never felt the need for 60gig really. Video quality is excellent.

Cons…still pictures taken might not be of an exceptional quality. lacks flash and night shot.

Overall, a best buy in its segment among various brands and wont dampen your spirits. If you are looking on casual and travel lines…this is a great buy.
