love the camera, but has some background clickingDecember 1, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I love the camera, have used it for a variety of things like shooting in snow, and playing tennis, also I love the camera light, it's small, but gets the job done. the only downfall is, when shooting without any other sound, the camera clicks get recorded.

This is very simple to use and transfer to your computer. It is so easy if you have a Mac. I was worried that it may not be compatible, but it works perfectly. It is also great to have both HD and flash. You can separate to film different subjects. I am very happy with my new camcorder.

I like this camcorder. It weights almost nothing and it's very easy to view and backup the videos. Bad things are: -I was a little dissapointed when I filmed in darks places. -You cannot take pictures when you are in movie mode -It doesn't have an optical viewfinder. The only way to see what you are recording it's the LCD viewer. So you can't see nothing if the person you are recording wants to see himself while recording (my kids love seeing themselves online in the lcd viewer)
A hint to view the videos everywhere: change de extension of the file .mod to .avi.
Love it for it's no nonsense use.November 22, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This camera could not be any easier to use that all the previous camcorders I've used (Hi8 and DVD). I love the fact that I don't have to think about how much time is left on the tape or if I brought enough DVD's. It might not be HD but for $300++ you can't really go wrong. File transfer to the computer could not get any easier too. Just install the image mixer program and just plug in the camcorder via USB and power it with the power adapter (so you won't lose power when transferring files) and it lets you select which files you want to upload to your PC. It could not get any simpler than that. I didn't have to read the manual too.
If there was a con to this product I would have to say I wished they added a lens filer thread on the camera so I won't get too worried about dust and dirt getting on the lens and having the auto lens cover close and scratch the lens.
If you're into HD and stuff like that, this camera is not for you. If you want to record memories and transfer then to you PC without complicated transfer procedure, I suggest you look into the FS series.
