Pros: Easy to use, small, light, easy to make DVDs

Cons: bad video quality.

Other Thoughts: I liked everything about this cam but the most important feature - video quality. It sucks, I had to return it because the video recorded indoors was unacceptable. I had every single light turned on, and still video came out grainy and pixalated. Played with every option and was not able to imrove the quality - RETURNED.

Pros: Excellent camera, very good for average shooting circumstances. Hard drive makes getting footage onto a computer for editing extremely simple and easy. Crystal clear images during the day, and good light balance.

Cons: Doesnt have night shot or a light, not good for nighttime shooting.

Pros: easy to use, hard drive recording, no tapes or dvd's
spot for a mem stick tho.

Cons: ya have to by your own light and there is no "eye view" just lcd panel

Other Thoughts: seems to be easy to use for someone like me who only uses it once and awhile. nice and small.
