I'm returning mine
Pros:
Comes with two batteries
Cons:
Does not performed advertised features.
The Bottom Line:
I would ask lots of questions of the salesman before buying any camera like this. If you don't get what you want, walk away.

Author's Review
The most unnerving feature is that the "direct to DVD" feature doesn't work. I've put the completed DVD into both of my DVD players, and both of my laptop computers, and I can't get any of them to read the DVD. The DVD players present the message "invalid disk" or "No play". The laptops just keep trying to read the DVD, and you can hear the little stepper motors going eep-eep-eep. Now granted, I did not fill up the entire space on the DVD, but honestly, I shouldn't have to do that.
Connecting the camera to the computer by way of the USB port doesn't work either. The camera identifies that it has been plugged into a USB-compatible computer, but that's it. After that, silence. Apparently the computer doesn't show that it has been connected to a USB device.
Further, apparently you can't record from video to the miniSD memory card. Why not? My HP R927 allows me to do that, why not this bugger, which costs $200 more?
And, to top it off, if you try and record video without a DVD installed (which was really my last resort, given that I couldn't get the DVD to record correctly) the camera just sits there in beeps at you. That's silly!
