Great Value - Great Camera

After studying almost every available camcorder on the price range $350 - $450 I thought this one was the best and once I got it I can confirm it. Great, simple camcorder for family use. If you are looking to be the next Spielberg look for something else, but if you don't want to spend a whole lot and want a relible camcorder, this is the one.

Perfecto Funcionamiento con Macbook

Los usuarios de macs pueden adquirir esta camara sin ningun inconveniente, adquiri una recientemente y la conecte a una macbook nueva y trabajo de maravilla, pasa los videos sin inconveniente de ningun tipo y puedes editarlos de una vez en iMovie.
La recomiendo, No le di la 5ta estrella debido a que la bateria es de muy corta duracion y es casi obligatorio la compra de una adicional de larga duracion.
En lineas generales una muy buena compra y se evita uno tener que cargar cintas o dvd virgenes

Satisfied until Video Playback

I thought it was such a great deal- great size, great quality on LCD, great quality playback on LCD, good price, easy to use function, and ofcourse, the greatest advantage of all- the hard disk! I was extremely satisfied until I plugged in the AV wires to my Television and found low quality playback. =/

Good, Very good, but not best...

I just purchased this product about a few weeks ago and I am satisfied with it, but there is a few things I would like to point out. I will list the Pros and Cons of this product:

Pros:

- Great video quality
- Records 7 hours on best quality
- Takes still images
- Zooms in very well
- Has good audio mics
- Lens cover

Cons:

- When I plug it in, my Internet connection fails
- It records in .mov format - not the best for editing.
- Battery lasts only an hour


So it is good, but not best. I would recommend this to people not looking for an expensive camcorder as this one is average or in other words, better than others.

Seems to be a decent camera, however it has problems with the auto focus in low light situations. Only problem I have seen thus far.
