Good – Great camera, easy to use for the main functions, some of the more advanced functions not so easy. Very light and nice to hold. Good bundled software for viewing and movie editing. Wide screen recording is a bonus on this price level camera. Very good quality recording results.

Digital still pictures are excellent quality; plenty enough for standard 6 X 4 prints. I added a 1Gb SD memory card; holds in excess of 650 images.

Not much bad can be said. Highly recommended. Small, light, fast startup, great quality images, doubles as a digital still camera, 16:9 widescreen aspect, great value bundled software, image stabilizer makes steady shooting natural. Lots of good things about this camera. lens flare when pointed into a strong light source, such as a window or sky, digital effects not straight forward to use, no titling capabilities.
