What do people say

Great quality shots both in light and dark situations. When I first started using mine I thought the quality was just okay. Then I realized that it was set on SP. When I changed the setting to HQ, wow, what a difference. I don’t get all the bad reviews on the picture quality. I can’t imagine any other SD camera having any better picture. It’s SD. If you want perfection, spend the extra money on an HD camera. Also, the videos transfer to your computer easily. Also love the 60gb hard drive and the touch screen. The battery last longer than I thought – about 90 minutes.

Out of the box the camera lacks some color to it, however if you adjust the settings things look great. Its NOT HD, but the quality is still fantastic for some reason. It does lack some saturation to some colors (greens and somewhat blues) but its all adjustable to an extent. I kinda wish it had that “film” effect that some Cannon cameras offer so i dont have to add it in via Sony Vegas, but im happy with the resolution it has now.
-The zoom is absolutely out of this world. I was just screwing around with it and decided ill look down and zoom in on my shoe laces. I could literlly see grains of dirt all over my shoe lace, my shoes are completely clean to the naked eye. I was also zooming in on letters in long distances and was completely able to read everything clearly. The zoom does get a little pixelated when you put it on a TV (i have a Samsung HDTV) if you go too far or move around alot. However the stabability of the camera is phenominal, normally a zoomed in shot would be real shaky and un watchable, not with this camera.
