Review:
I borrowed this camcorder with a view to buying it.Once I worked out the controls it wasfairly good, tranfer from hdd to disc ok. Then I wanted to tranfer to my pc and edit all the footage.What a nightmare.It doesnt do what it says on the box. Maybe its me or my pc , Irun windows XP, but I found the manual instruction a bit vague and the on screen menu not very compliant. I now have loads of footage that I cant edit. I am now looking for a more user friendly camcorder.
