(5 out of 5 stars) Truly HD camcorder in pocket size! Buy, Buy Buy!

Excellent EXMOR Sensor and image processing engine, the BEST as for today! Small size. Full HD. Fast start. Even with “Limited” features has a lots of them. Camera instantly detected in PC-XP Pro and Mac-OS/X. I do not care about 4MP still shots, so won’t even bother to talk about it….

(3 out of 5 stars) Great for outdoors, not so good otherwise

Recently bought this camera with same results as review by E. Sharon. Great for outdoors in good light, otherwise it is so grainy you might as well not bother with HD. Even with 100 W light bulb in a 10 x 10 room, picture was so grainy I thought the product was defective…
