Pros: Three things that makes MVX3i click: versatile, lightweight and capable. This camcorder has a solid assembled body, beautifully detailed and handsome. With respect to the features, it can zoom up from 40x to 200x. Image stabilisation make it possible to get clear shots, against "ghosting" or "flaring" in others. It uses an optical aspherical vibrating system, which also applied with video.
Cons: The microphone is located directly under the front of the camera's lens. Since positioned there, expect a lot of underlying noise in your video shots. Better set things up a bit before taking any amateur footage.
Overall: After taking a few test video shots, don't get worried on how you could process these because atop MVX3i, there's a Pinnacle software that makes this camcorder a buy's worth. Use your Firewire port to connect it to your PC, and don't forget to purchase a separate memory card.
