5 out of 5 eggsGreat Deal

Pros: Great HD recording at 60fps - superb quality, Waterproof - great ! Very comfy to hold in hand, i Had Panasonic fefore and it was not as cool as this one. I love it ! GReat in water pictures - that is why i purchased it.

Cons: battery life could be better, but need to adjust screen brightness. It records probably around 30-40 min of video before it will die.
