  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Picture colors and sharpness. Very good build. Easy to operate.

  Weaknesses: battery life (1 hour max) and OIS (Optical image stabilizator).

  Overall Evaluation: Everything about this cam is good. I bought additional battery and now don't think about battery life. But OIS is just awfull.... well I expected more for the price!!!

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: 3ccd, small, light-weight, external mic connection

  Weaknesses: died after one normal vacation (4 one-hour tapes).

  Overall Evaluation: Apparently, moisture gets in easily through the speaker and corrodes the front PC board, so if you live where there is any humidity at all, DO NOT buy this camera. It is very fragile. My camera did not get wet, but it was around normal humidity, taking summer videos.I had another brand camera before this and I'm going back to that brand because it could handle basic outdoor use.
