AI was pleasantly surprise to see how tiny this camera is... compared to my previous Sony camcorder, this seemed almost miniature making this a perfect camera to take along on excursions. I never liked toting a large camera along. The video quality is superb while digital picture quality is the... Read full review »

Cons Engineering flaw rendering the camera useless after only a few minutes of filming.
Recommended it? No
