Now, I am not exactly what you call an expert in technology but I found this little machine so great to get started with, after ... ...1 1/2 hours, it is very easy to get to a point where you are recording. The first time you switch it on it starts up in Auto mode, meaning the focus, screen brightness etc is correctly selected for you. You can easily switch to manual mode but I have not been brave enough yet!!

Advantages: Light, easy to use when filming. Disadvantages: Nightmare to copy to disc, no night vision, very costly in extra equipment required
