"Not that good, really"
What I like:
Compact, light, good pictures
What I don't like:
Motor noise
Review:
Good little camcorder but the high pitched motor noise is totally unacceptable. I made a three-minute trial video, then sent it back. I'm surprised that CNET's excellent reviews did not highlight this problem.

Has plenty of features for a budget camcorder, but its video quality isn't particularly impressive
