    With the exception of low-light environments, this camera has consistently produced high quality video and audio.

    Keep in mind, this is NOT 1080p video, the highest quality this camera produces is 1080i 59.94.

    Also, the software provided only works with Windows. If you have a Mac, you will need a converter in order to change the native .MTI files into something you can edit with Final Cut Pro or iMovie. The camera DOES have a iMovie mode but it drops the quality down to 720p.

    The best feature about this camera is the built-in “montage” that automatically makes a presentation of your videos and adds some music that ranges from classical to 80′s car commercial pop style. It’s actually pretty hilarious to watch since it makes some clips in slow motion, adds zoom where there wasn’t any before, and adds quick cuts between different video clips which makes it seem like a music video.

    Overall, it’s a great little camera that produces great quality video. Just make sure you are prepared on the computer side because that can be very frustrating if you are trying to edit the 1080i videos on a Mac.

    The quality of video is superb and the amount of manual controls is more than adequate, at least for my purposes (I use it for jewelry videos in a studio environment, with an enclosed AC adapter). The fully automatic mode is very good, too. The lens is sharp, right contrast, right color rendering. I got exactly what I wanted to get. Very happy.

    Perfect size… not so perfect image, June 7, 2011

    I loved everything about this camera except the IMAGE QUALITY.
    No matter how high I set the quality level on this camera, the video ended up looking like it was shot through a dirty window.
    The best images were taken outdoors but even these had a the look you would get if you used a water-color plug-in in Photoshop;
    Muddled and lots of moving pixels. The image is just not crisp at all.
    In lower, indoor light settings (normal lighting), even with the camera light on, there is a dirty pattern that sits over the entire image.
    I compared the images shot with this camera to the exact same footage taken with an inexpensive Kodak, pocket video camera (that does not have a light) and there was a huge difference;
    The inexpensive Kodak LOOKED BETTER.
    Even the STILL images appeared dirty and muddy with that water-color-plug-in look.
    This camera had almost everything I was looking for; Internal memory, SD card slot, huge optical Zoom, perfect size, lots of nice control features. Easy menu!
    But where it matters most, this camera fell short.
    What a shame too. I really wanted this camera to be the one to use on my next vacation.
