"Generally a very good camcorder"

What I like:

Picture quality and features

What I don't like:

Uncomfortable handling with zoom button in awkward place

Review:

This is my first camcorder and, overall, I am very impressed, especially with the picture quality. There are plenty of features which are easy to use and set out in a logical way.

Compared to some of the newer camcorders on the market, this one is not very small (you cannot easily carry it in your pocket for example), but it is light-weight (less than 0.5kg). The main problem I find with it is the handling - the strap does not seem particularly comfortable and the zoom button is not easy to reach.

I bought this camcorder for £500 from Comet online but there is £150 cash-back from manufacturer (until end of Aug 05), so it will only cost me £350! A good price for a high-spec machine.
