What do people say
The camera itself is tiny – you could easily fit it inside a 12 ounce drink can. This means you can take it just about anywhere. All camera recording and playback controls are available via a touchscreen on the flip-out widescreen display. I was hesistant about this initially, having big hands, but it is very easy to navigate once you get used to it.
The video quality of this camera is simply amazing! You will not be disappointed, I assure you. Played back on an HDTV, the video quality is jaw dropping! It has several video compression modes, both in HD and SD. Other brands such as Canon don’t have both HD & SD modes. The HD video files are highly compressed (AVCHD) and don’t take much more disk space than SD video.

Outdoors, the image quality is simply stunning. Colors are rich, but not over saturated. Color accuracy is nearly as good as setting the white balance manually. Autofocus is flawless. Exposure is accurate, almost never washing out except under the most adverse conditions. The image quality outdoors comes within 95 percent of some professional camcorders.
Indoors, the camera holds it’s own when there’s a lot of light, such as in an office or in a brightly lit room. When the light gets really low, the image falls apart. The shutter speed automatically goes from 60 (normal video) to 30 (for better low light), resulting in a stucatto effect. You can disable this in the menu, or use it as a special effect. The other negative is the automatic image softening at low lighting. This softens the graininess of low light video, but it becomes so soft the image loses it’s high definition sharpness and begins to look like a standard definition camcorder. This is not adjustable, and it makes using the camcorder next to useless in very low light conditions.
