Author's Review
Over all an excellent camcorder in its price range. I did see a lot of comments complaining its low light performance, but I myself found it is actually pretty good. I went to Las Vegas just recently, and shoot quite some video at night, including the Treasure Island show at night, and the result surprised me, the show appeared on my TV just as what I saw in Vegas, the show was in dark anyway, what could you expect?
I first fell in love with this camcorder because of its shape and color, very adorable, and it fits nicely in the palm of my hand and feels great. Then after quite some research, I bought it but kept in mind its poor low light performance. This time, it really surprised me, I would say it's low light performance is not bad at all in this price range. You get what you pay for, but you just can't compare it to the ones that sell over $2000.
It's very user friendly, the manual is well written, battery life is quite good, the battery comes with Elura 70 is BP-2L14, which is much bigger than the one comes with Elura 60 or 65, BP-2L12. Wide angle lens is very useful. I love this camcorder, just haven't had this long enough to rate its reliability.
