   Pros: This is a well thought out, super lightweight, comfortable camera with 8 gigs of built in internal storage. The battery it comes with will record around 4 hours of footage on one charge. The built in video editing software is really all you’ll ever need for the average user. It seems to handle low light situations without much issue. It’s a fun simple camera that will totally get the job done for anyone who chooses to obtain one. No tapes. No hard drives. No long sketchy conversion process to get the video on your PC. It’s really just a kick butt device designed for todays digital age. Built in video editing software comes with youtube, flickr and facebook integration so you can easily upload your videos and pics to the web.

   Cons: The photo mode is completely worthless and my Olympus from 10 years ago does a better job. But then, I didn’t purchase this for it’s still photo capability. The lens cap is manually toggled by flipping a switch on the side of the camera which I’m just not used to yet. I find that I keep leaving the lens exposed because this isn’t an automatic thing. Doesn’t come with anything extra. No bag, no extra battery, nothing. Replacement batteries are unavailable online so far. The microphone is super sensative and will easily pick up your breathing if you aren’t concious about it.

   Other thoughs: The build of the camera feels flimsy to me but time will tell. It’s just so light. This camera is easily accomplishing everything I need it to do and I am very happy with it.

   I bought this camera for the price but have returned it because of the poor picture quality and the broken lens cover. I have kids in sports so I took it along to test it out on action shots. I used a 16GB Class 4 SDHC card. The results were poor. I took shots of the pitchers to evaluate their technique. The video pixelated during any fast motion. I then purchased a 16 GB Class 10 hoping the extra speed would help. It did slightly but the video was still grainy and not very clear. The camera design was awkward too. In order to charge the battery, you need to flip open the video screen to plug in the power cord.

   I have since gone with the Canon HF300 which was $50 more but the video quality is pretty good and the overall camera design was better.

   Video is very grainy at the highest setting, still images look just as bad.
   
   My suggestion if you can’t afford to buy a high priced camcorder, get a digital camera.
   
   The video on my cell phone looks better than this thing.
