   This would have been a winner hands down for the one feature that it has that every other camcorder in it’s price range lacks, an audio input jack for external microphone. Every other camcorder in it’s price range had neglected the need for good audio.

   But, the video format, according to another reviewer, is not compatible with most professional editing software. Sorry. FAIL.

   this a camera is crap. I just bought it and have been trying to make it work for 4 days now. Problems:

   the $[...] digital camera that also takes video had way better video quality.
   
   the camera and the software that comes with it doesn’t work with a mac
   
   you need to have every cable hook up at once to import video 2 power cords and the usb (it’s annoying when your infront of your home computer imposible anywhere else)
   
   MOD files suck nothing opens them and you have to two or three steps to convert them into mpg or mov ( with all the damn wires everywhere )

   the only reason I bought this camera was because it has an external mic port. but so what if the camera is, well it feels deliberatly annoying.

   I bought this camera to video the birth of my child. I use a MAC and found that it is impossible to upload video images to imovie or to my computer. I am pleased with the size of the computer but do not like the requirement of having the camera plugged into an outlet to upload images – even if it did work. To make things worse, on the cannon site the MAC driver files are missing. The camera might work for those with PC’s – I would discourage MAC users from buying. I am probably going to have to replace it.

   This camera is really pretty good for the price. Easy to set up and use. Battery life could be better though. I just wanted something for the video and ease of use. I use a separate dual mic recorder so the audio wasn’t so important, but it works very well. Didn’t even try the software so I don’t know how it works. I use third party video editing software so that made it a mute point. Great camera for the money.

   I bought this camcorder after much research. The video is great. This is a great buy.
