Good – This is a pocket sized standard digital camcorder that records high quality images and would be ideal for anyone travelling especially when space is limited. It is user friendly and the option of recording to SD card means that cards can be kept until a convenient time to download. I am a beginner and have not yet worked out how to do the editing bit but I will spend some time with it in the next month or so. The pictures are brilliant and you can even take snapshots with it so you don't need two cameras The FS21 is a great little Camcorder that can be used by almost anyone including me. Great flash memory plus SD card means that there can be up to 20 hours recording. Had some problems downloading to my laptop. Bought a Canon DW-100 DVD recorder for one touch recording
