Comment: The best cost/benefit camcorder Rating:
I had a very low budget and a newborn... (you do the math!)
I did my research and finally, I got it.
The features I love:

- Can be used as webcam! I don't understand why they don't promote this feature. In fact, I went to Best Buy to see it and they had no idea about this capability.
- Very light.
- Resolution... it's ok. It's just for family memories... not to broadcast the SuperBowl in HD!!!
- Built-in light.
- Memory stick.
- Night PIX
- Good audio! Nice mic. Really.
- A/V connectors in several flavors.

Things I don't like too much but I can live with:
- Very low resolution in snapshots.
- Included battery lasts... nothing.
- The cover of the A/V connectors is very weak. Any bad movement... and It's broken.

Comment: Great camera, great features for the price Rating:
Not only did this camera exceed my expectations, but after shopping around, got it for a great price. The zoom and DIS are excellent, and the power nite pix is really cool. Pictures onto the memory stick aren't anything special, but I wasn't buying a camcorder to take pictures anyway. The size is very manageable, and hooking it up via the USB was a snap. The menus become easy to use after you get use to them, and some of the 'quick' buttons let you access functions even faster. The cassette insertion is actually pretty neat, and assuming you're not retarded, you shouldn't have a problem.

Comment: Best features for the price Rating:
This camcorder offers the best features compared to similarly priced other brands (JVC and Panasonic), which include flash memory option, USB cable, and bigger video light. It is not as compact as JVC or Panasonic, but small enough to fit small bags. I have not had problems with the cassette insertion mechanism of the camera. It seems to be the best deal for the price.
