Light, easy to use, great pictures I am very happy with this camcorder. HD pictures are of superb quality and are beautiful to watch on a HD ready TV (do yourself a favour and record in Standard Def just to see the difference - worth the additional money for HD). What I found truly amazing is how simple the camcorder is to use - the touch-screen is very intuitive and switching on and taking pictures or filming is really simple.

I haven't used it too much so far but the touch screen was easier to navigate than I expected, although you have to refer to the manual a bit at first. Still and Movie picture is absolutely excellent indoors in average light... more info
