This camera is really easy to use. The screen is big and clear and the menus easy to follow. The stabilizer works well and very easy with the USB cable to transfer your video to the pc and burn a dvd. It saves the video in AVI format that plays without manipulation on the pc and on compatible dvd players. Highly recommended.

I paid $169 for this digital camcorder and it has features I will probably never use. I read all the pros and cons and realized the cons are all operator head space and timing. Read the directions and this is one great camera.

Owners of this product. Please post a video review of this product and let the quality or lack there of speak for itself. Thanks

If you are looking for a camera with "true" 16:9 recording capability **DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA** as the 16:9 format is nothing other than stretched out 4:3. I saw someone make this comment and thought it cannot be that big of deal. But then after I shot my first video (and realized the images being recorded are in many cases things you see in person i.e. Kids, Pets etc) and they look nothing like what you know them to look like (unless of course you want to watch your recorded footage in 4:3 which is a complete waste of your investment into an HDTV). If you do not have a 16:9 TV and never plan to get one, this camera, for the money, is tough to beat.

I sent it back and ordered a Cannon with TRUE 16:9 recording capabilty.

This is my first camcorder and was purchased to record a new baby. It is very easy to use and produces nice clips. The Easy-Q button sets up the lighting and other settings great!
