I recently purchased this camcorder for my upcoming holiday to the Lake District. Said holiday is looking to be a very bad choice if this weather continues. Maybe I should have forgotten about the whole adventure holiday in Britain thing and gone somewhere warm. Oh well, guess I've made my bed...anyway, on to the camcorder.


Look and design


The camcorder is reasonably good looking, nothing strikes you as wow about it, but nothing makes you go 'yuck' either. It is fairly lightweight and quite ergonomic, making it easy to hold and use. The only thing I disliked about it was, as seems to be more frequent with camcorders, the god damn YouTube sticker on the side (wow, YouTube appears in my spell checker) I look at this camera and think; 'I want to record my holiday, I do not want to be a frigging (refrains from swearing) walking YouTube advert'.


Function


The camcorder is child's play to use, nothing overly complication in terms of menus etc. It shoots reasonably good quality videos, though ones that are perhaps more aimed at the photographer who aims to post his videos on YouTube, which I am certainly not. When I want to endure the humiliation of having my life exposed to millions of viewers, I'll go on a reality TV show or something. It has a reasonable amount of memory, or at least I haven't managed to fill it yet, but I haven't been using it that much (just testing it before I leave). It is very easy to upload videos from this to your computer and, I assume, also very easy to put them on YouTube.


Overall


An average camera at a very low price which shoots reasonable video. The only problem being that it is perhaps too aimed at those who would put their videos on youtube.
