Great for the price.

The DV is in a weird place, on the bottom, which makes inserting a new tape while the camcorder is on a tripod impossible.
Otherwise, this camera is great. Compact, easy to use, etc. The light on it is convienent; though it would be nice to have the option to turn it on remotely.
Zoom is smooth, and it works great as a webcam.
Nice Camcorder
[ Posted: 2006-08-13 ]
I've had this camcorder now for 6 months. Here are some of the things I have found. First you know to purchase a firewire. The charger, I found a nice charger that you put the battery in the unit and plug the whole thing into the electrical socket. That is nice. I don't know if other camcorders have the same type lense cover, but this one stinks. It falls off alot. Whoever designed it should be immediately drug tested. Still shots are so-so. Don't expect them to be like a digital camera quality. I think it is good shooting in overcast or indoors. Of course since this is my first one, I have nothing to campare it to. But all in all I'm satisfied.
defective product

After reading reviews I bought this piece. It looked good initially and I liked the performance. Suddenly it stopped working. I cannot power on or do anything with it. I thought the battery wsa out and changed it but no use. May be this one is defective.
