Wonderful Service

The camcorder came in perfect condition and timely. My daughter received it for Christmas and she loves it.

Great for the price - a few drawbacks

There are a few drawbacks. The motor noise mentioned in other reviews is a real problem - it's a loud whine and hiss, really annoying. I almost sent the camera back because of this alone so be warned. There is no Firewire cable included, you have to get one before you can transfer video to the computer. No video software is included but since I am using Kino in Ubuntu Linux, it wasn't an issue. In Linux, it's extremely easy to transfer to Kino, edit, and burn to DVD using K3b. (don't forget in Ubuntu you have to run it as root - 'gksudo kino'). Kino controls the camera through the DV interface, playback, edit, export to DVD. Haven't tried anything more complicated than that yet. Controls are nice and picture and sound quality quite good.

Nice camcorder

really neat product.

CONS:

* It does not come with a Firewire cable which you'd need if you want to download videos to your PC/MAC.
* Battery last only one hour
