Nice camera, tough price

This dvd camcorder is full of features and will satisfy most people. The movie quality is great, yet I do agree with other reviews that some noise is visible in low light condition. This was a major flaw to me considering the money paid for this camcorder. However, you have to give it credit for being one of the first DVD handycams on the market for a considerable price, and flaws are inescapable. In general, the quality is great, and its easy to navigate. Nightshot is also a big plus over competition, such as Panasonic, whose nightshot is not close to the one yilded on this camera. I have to comment on another flaw I found: after recording, discs may not always be playable or corrupt if the camera had even minor vibrations when formatting the disc. This can be very stressful if you are about to loose a precious memory. However, once you recognize that its best to place the camera on something steady while formatting a disc, no problems should appear with corruption.
