Advantages: Tiny, cheap, cute, battery life, charging dock Disadvantages: Filming in the dark, filming when dancing, ammo in a fight
A brilliant little camera if you get it as cheaply as I did; the 5700 is so unbelievably small that a field mouse could effectively be used as the carry-case. Luckily the camcorder does come with it's own bag and so no field mice need be harmed.
The photos do not show the side of the camera that would normally have a strap for ease of use when filming. This is probably because they don't want you to know that it doesn't have one. It's quite a skill ... ...but you get used to it. Also mine has turned itself off once or twice when filming with the flappy bit closed. This doesnt bother me as I just don't close the flap, but if you're a serial flap-closer then this could be troublesome.
The best thing about this camcorder without a doubt is the battery life. I captured all the best moments of a fantastic weekend in the Scottish mountains and still had enough juice left on Monday to annoy all my hungover ...
