"I love this little camera. Fits in the hand, easy to use, and captures nice looking video. What I like best of all, though, is how easily it connects to my MacBook Pro for uploading video and editing on iMovie '08. I simply plug it in to the USB port with the cable provided and swith from REC mode to PLAY mode. The camera asks if I want to "Playback on PC". I click OK and open iMovie '08. iMovie recognizes the camera and asks if I would like to upload my clips. Done!
In the past, I never got much into video editing with my tape based camera and a PC. Uploading / editing clips was too time consuming. Now with my new setup, it's a pleasure and I've made tons of little movies of our family outings and school plays. This camera and iMovie turned computer-based video editing from frustrating to fun. Thank you!"

"I purchased this camcorder to replace my first Sony camcorder. I loved my Sony, but it was 5 years old and started having problems. I have used this camcorder several times to video my children playing. I have hooked it up to the television and played back the video. I love it. I am not an expert on camcorders. I only purchased this one so my children would be able to see themselves grow up. I have not had any problems with it. I purchased a second camera for my mother in law for her video needs also. I love the fact that you don't use a tape. There is no fast forwarding or rewinding. If I want to delete a clip, I just highlight it and tell the camera to delete it. If I want to go to a specific clip, I just highlight it and the camera replays that clip. To turn it on you just open the LCD Screen and to turn it off, just close the LCD screen. Highly Recommended."

"I bought this about a month ago. I originally was looking at a sony or cannon. Sony is not campatable with my mac computer, and the cannons that I saw were pretty pricey. I think this is a good all around camcorder for the money. I have not had any problems with it and it is pretty easy to use once you get the hang of the menu's and the little contoller on the view panel.
so pros and cons:
pros: reasonably priced, hard drive, small, easy to use and upload to computer, good amount of recording time, good rotating lcd viewer.
cons: indoor video is a little orange, the led light is really not very useful, manual isn't great, no image stabilization(really helpful on the long zoom).
The video quality is definitely not HD but never claims to be. I think this is a good camcorder for recording family events etc and you don't want to pay an arm and a leg."

"I took a big risk and purchased this camera 2 days before leaving on a Disney vacation with my 2 year old.
The risk was well worth it, the camera worked great and was extremely easy to use. Battery life was great and not having to carry blank tapes was a big plus!
I used this to replace my aging JVC Mini DV camera.
The quality of the final product was very close to my DV tapes, it was perfectly fine for home movies.
I was able to seamlessly upload the video when I got home using iMovie on my Mac.
I don't understand the other reviews stating poor picture quality or problems with a Mac. They may not have set the camera for maximum resolution, it's comes set from the factory at medium quality.
No, it's not HD & yes it records in a compressed format, but definitely a great camera for the money! I would buy it again tomorrow. "
