Mac compatible, excellent video quality and zoom control

Extreme low-light situations does result in video degradation

This is the first video camcorder I have ever owned which I've been using for about 2 months. Thus, I can't give much input in terms of personal comparisons to other camcorders currently out. However, I have extensively researched DV camcorders over the internet before settling on this camcorder...

Optical stabilization, fast zoom, fine DV images with good sharpness and color balance...

I have always found the matchbook camcorder to be the most portable, I...
