Customer Reviews

well...
Bought the camera sight unseen, which was a mistake. I shoot in a lot of low light situations, which this camera DOES NOT do well in (my old digital 8 camera blows this away). More >>

Everything I Expected!
Smooth pictures in every type of frames (30p, 24p...). The camera is perfect weight (not to heavy to get tired too fast, but not to light so it won't shake much when recording). More >>

Not for low light!!!!!
Generally I do like this camcorder, however if you expect to shoot indoors (or out) with less than a 60 watt bulb within 1 foot of the subject....not 2 feet mind you.... More >>
