This fully featured digital camcorder has to be one of the best bargains around. Boasting a 48x digital zoom and Progressive scan CCD along with Red/Green/Blue primary colour filter this camera outperforms many cameras costing half as much again. Added to that is its impressive list of features such as the digital effects, photo mode and fold out full colour screen. However, the three things that really impressed me with this particular model were: 1. The patented Optical Image stabiliser. This is not a software trick, but a true stabiliser using a gyrosope-type device (I can't be sure of the technical details!). It is very good and helps to produce a watchable picture even when running. 2. The camcorder has a Canon lens. Obvious really, but then it is one of the most important parts of the unit and Canon lenses have always been superior. 3. It's build quality is superb.
I moved over from the old analogue cameras last year and I won't be going back. I can transfer the video easily to my PC and bore my relatives over the internet as well! Marvellous.
A top quality camera that has to be on anyone's shortlist.
