    Duration of ownership: 3 Months

    Strengths: Hi definition video quality, easy to use, flash memory, fast transfer of video, easily expandable

    Weaknesses:Not much vertical space

    Overall Evaluation: This is an excellent flash memory based camcorder. Amazing video quality and very easy to operate. It's flash memory based and it's very easy to expand the memory by adding SDHC cards. Video transfer is as easy as drag and drop in Windows. The only weakness is it doesn't give much vertical space due to it's widerscreen aspect ratio. Overall, would highly recommend this camcorder to anyone.

    Duration of ownership: 60 Days

    Strengths: Small and compact, lightweight, HD, interal storage, SD storage

    Weaknesses:Stock battery won't last long enough to fill up internal storage capacity, have to charge battery in the camera.

    Overall Evaluation: This is my first camcorder. We have a baby on the way so I thought it was time to get one. After reading all the professional reviews online, I came to the conclusion that this was the best consumer level HD camcorder to be had. I am very impressed with the picture quality, as well as the camera functions. I plan to purchase the higher capacity battery and an external battery charger. The included movie software can be taxing on lesser computer systems. Fast SD cards can be had on the cheap if you keep your eyes on the deal forums.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Very good quality video, small and light weight can hold on one hand, support multi-language menu and an external large SDHC memory card.

    Weaknesses:None up to now.

    Overall Evaluation: The camera can run about 90 minutes on a full charged battery. I need a backup battery for a long time shot and an external large size SDHC memory (32GB) is need for backup.

    Strengths: Nice camera for the money. Video looks great! I think the indoor performance is very adequate.

    Weaknesses:To charge the battery it nees to be plugged into the camera and the camera plugged into the wall. No seperate battery charger. Battery that comes with camera only lasts a little over an hour.

    Overall Evaluation: I have had the camera for 2 weeks. First I want to say that I'm an average user when it come to shooting video, I'm not an expert in filming. With that being said, here's my thoughts. Nice camera for the money. Video looks great! I think the indoor performance is very adequate. Don't care for the fact that you have to plug in the camera to an electrical outlet in order to transfer video from camera to computer. Also, to charge the battery it nees to be plugged into the camera and the camera plugged into the wall. No seperate battery charger. Battery that comes with camera only lasts a little over an hour, you'll want to buy an extended battery (which obviously won't sit "flush" with the camcorder, but it doesn't stick out too far and costs around $115). I haven't tried taking a still photo since I have a good digital SLR. I bought a video camera for video and not photos. Quick start mode is great! Overall I think it's worth the money I paid for it. Would recommend to my friends.

    Duration of ownership: 2 Weeks

    Strengths: Size, picture quality, ease of use, battery life.

    Weaknesses:Size(takes some getting used to, it is so small), no viewfinder, software package that comes with it is weak.

    Overall Evaluation: I bought this to replace my aging Samsung MiniDV camera and the differences are staggering. The clarity (obviously) is head and shoulders above the old camera. No viewfinder makes it difficult to see in bright light, but that is a small drawback. The battery life is great as there are no moving parts to draw power. This is my first HD camera and I am glad I made this choice!
