Strengths: Excellent Quality video, compact size, bundled DVD recorder.
Weaknesses: Memory fills up quickly so need a lot of SD cards, Battery life is not enough.
Summary: Initially I was planning on getting the hard drive version of this camera but decided to get this one because of the compact size. I bought a 1 GB SD card but it is not enough. So I will be buying some more high capacity cards soon. Picture quality is the best I have seen so far. Some outside clips are so sharp that they seem to be from HD discovery. Over all I am very pleased with the purchase, and would recommend to others.

Strengths: Light, Fast recording, Video Quality and compact
Weaknesses: The format in which the file is stored in the SD card has to be converted using the included software before we can view it on the computer
Summary: This camera has more positives than negatives. The picture recorded is very clear. The DVD burner that comes along with it is extremely useful. There is a HDMI that lets you connect to HDTV for instant viewing. It was easy to use from the get. One drawback I found is when I connect to the computer it says that the power adapter needs to connected otherwise it does not let the camera to connect to the computer. That was weird. Overall I am very happy with the camcorder. Still playing with it.

Strengths: Very compact in size, great quality with the playback on my HD TV.
Weaknesses: Haven't used it much, but the storage is not good enough for me.
Summary: You need extra cards when using this beast of a machine, but the quality is well worth it. Pictures and video look life like! I'd give it a 4.5/5. Hope this helps!
