Great starter Camera

We bought this camera before the birth of our child and ended up giving away our old digital camera, because the camera on this one works great. Of course it isn't the greatest of detail in every picture, but the pictures are clear enough to look good. Another great feature about this camera is the SUPER NIGHT option. You can take decent pictures in the dead of night.
The video camera works well from what I have used of it, we do not have a fire wire hook up on our computer yet so therefore I have not been able to edit like I would want to. I say that this is a good starter camera because it has so many features that it will take me a year before I understand how to use them all, but it's easy enough for me to start taking footage and pictures right away.
The price of the batteries and tapes are decent, and we bought a card that holds over 300 pictures for the camera.
This camera has been invaluable to our new family.
