A year of experience

Advantages: It's not a Sony
Disadvantages: I haven't got the money for a second one

First impressions was that it was better than I had hoped for! The styling, weight and general appearance was what I expected for £800 (bought November 2007 but I did have to shop around to find one at that price). All the reviews I read about the poor electronic stabilization were right! If you want to hand hold it be prepared for some pretty poor results.

On the back of the camcorder there is a cluster of image controls. ...
...speed, aperture and exposure compensation easily accessible and pretty efficient. On reflection I would actually say that it is more like a scaled down prosumer camcorder with the relatively large body, the aray of external buttons, and the focus ring.
