"Canny camera"

What I like:

No media, good quality snaps and video if left on ultra-high mode. Software very intuitive

What I don't like:

Quality not quite up to Mini DV standards

Review:

I bought this camera and took it to Spain with me for a fortnight. It's fantastically easy to use and in my opinion perfect for a family to record memories. No longer do you have to worry about tapes or discs, and although the quality is not quite on a par with Mini DV, it compares very favourably to most DVD camcorders. 7 and a quarter hours in ultra fine mode is plenty for any holiday, then you just plug it in to the computer and drag'n'drop to the desktop. I had over 3 hours of footage and it took a little over 13 minutes. Superb! The software supplied allows you to either burn straight to disc, or use the editing software also supplied. I had never edited video footage before, and being a man, never bothered reading the instructions and tried to figure it out for myself. Yes, I made a couple of mistakes, but in general I found it all very instinctive and pleasing. Within 3 hours I had produced my very own (and 1st!) DVD with menus and titles similar to that of a DVD movie you could buy. Bought mine for £480.00 and it's an absolute bargain and pleasure to use.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
