  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Image quality is pretty good, easy to use, LCD is really big

  Weaknesses: Does not do good in low light but what can you expect for $25

  Overall Evaluation: If I decide to buy this it will be my first mini DV camcorder.It has 3CCD, it's great.The zoom can be a little pixelated if you zoom really far.If I buy this I will get these with it: the wide angle lens,extra battery, and a tripod for the maximum benefits.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Optical image stabilization, zebra effect for oversaturation, still photo effect in movies, 3.0 megapixel stills in SD card, colorbar generator.

  Weaknesses: low light capability

  Overall Evaluation: I have used this for a 2 week tour of Europe, a wedding, several stage productions and home video. Except for the low light situation, it is a dream camcorder. The many effects and adjustments available, cover almost all that a non professional could ask for. The 3.5 in LCD is especially useful. This is my 4th camcorder, but first DV. I love the resolution when played back on my 32" TV.
