A very good low-end camcorder

This is a great camcorder. At the time of this writing, it's pretty much hands-down the best camcorder for the money if you're looking for something ultra-compact. The competitors sport better technical specifications in terms of memory, sensor size, and features, but the Mino turns out better video quality in more lighting conditions and is smaller and easier to use.

I have had to return several of them due to manufacturing/shipping problems however. The first one simply wouldn't boot after several weeks of light use and carrying around in my pocket. The 2nd one arrived and one of the touch-sensitive buttons wouldn't work. Now the 3rd one's speakers appear to have died. But even with all those problems, I still consider this a fantastic camcorder, and until something better comes out, I won't trade it in.
