Full review

Bought from John Lewis for £149 which came with a 2 year guarantee this is a compact and easy to use "point and shoot" camcorder.

Bought because we have just had our first child and wanted to record those special moments.
There are a few obvious positives:
a) The quality of the 40x zoom using the Carl Zeiss lens, although there is obvious camera shake at extreme zoom when not using a tripod
b) It has a good battery life and you can purchase the larger battery for those all day events.
c) Simple functionality combined with intuative controls, lightweight machine and comfortable to hold.
d) It is a entry level camera with reasonable specifications which records onto Digital Video (small tapes) and these are the preferred recording media if you are considering transfering to your PC. The firewire cable to connect the unit to your PC is NOT included, which is my main complaint about the unit. You will need to add some editing software (or use windows movie maker/apple equivalent) to make some home movies then upload to the internet or record onto DVD.
e) It has a Nightvision mode and touchscreen LCD display to access the camera menu functions.
