I purchased this camera 2 years ago after spending alot of time online looking at different types of camcorders. I chose to purchase a mini dv camcorder due to removable storage. I can not bare the thought of being away and not being able to film anything else due to a full hard drive. This camera caught my eye as it has 3ccd. Which means it uses 3 chips to process colours instead of one. From this you get nice bright colours and it works well in low light. The zoom is good by it would of been better if it was focused more on optical zoom instead of digital (10x optical and 500x Digital) As digital zoom just stretches the pixels and not zoom in. The shape of the camera makes it very comftable to hold for extended periods of time, with also not being to heavy. The lcd screen is a nice size and it also has a colour viewfinder. It has an accessory shoe which is becoming rare on cameras at this level now. This allows you to mount a external mic or light or one of many other items avalible. The lens cover also screws off which allows to add different type lenses to the camera.
