Great camera, great deal!

After much research last year, I found this camera was the best in its category and at a great price, I couldn't resist. It has proved to have excellent video quality for the past 6 months. It is very small and is great for people who need an easy camcorder without a million frills and complications. It has all the necessary options for your average family filmographer and none of the excess.

The "noise problems" that a few people complained about were non-existent for me.
The one thing I didn't like is that the firewire cable needed to connect to computer was not included. This can add to the cost especially when you're already buying a case, memory card, Mini DV's, etc.
Definitely buy a generic extra battery for this because you'll find it necessary!
