Strengths: * Touch screen * Manual focus ring * Picture and sound quality * Perfect fit in _my_ hand :-) * Intervall recording
Weaknesses: * Standard battery is too shortlived, buy an extra will cost you abit too much * A bit sensitive to low light conditions, grainy picture
Summary: This is my first digital videocamera, and I must say that the record quality exceeds my expectations by far. The camera with a better battery pack than the standard, i.e. NPFM70, will last you around 3-4 hours without using the 3.5 inch touchscreen to often. And this is great if you are filming sport events or other lasting events. (Marriages etc. :-)) I have to recommend this product, but the only comparison I did was in the shop. (Testing the PC120 and found it awkward to hold.) The movie quality is near broadcast when the cells gets enough light.

    Product Experience:
    4 Months
Strengths: video quality, 1.3 mp digital stills, touch screen, night-shot mode
Weaknesses: require a pretty brightly-lit environment for a vivid video, otherwise, you have to use the night-shot mode and settle for a greenish video outcome.
Summary: This is an excellent camcorder with digital still capacity better than some of the digital camera on the market. Excellent auto-focus on the camera function. Very nice and large LCD screen for use in spot-focus and spot exposure.
