"Cooler than a polar bear in a refrigerator"
What I like:
Easy to use, cheap, good quality sound and vision, upgradable, separate batteries
What I don't like:
people who mindlessly slag off a good cheap camera - buy a more expensive one then!!!
Review:
If you want an easy to use cheap HD camera go for this one. If you want super zooms, more features and something complicated to use buy something else!
It is light and portable, very upgradable (I've a 16Gb - 4.5 hours worth SDHC card £20), you can recharge or buy batteries if they run out. Zooms adequate but not brilliant (i.e. 2x + 2X electronic) but hey it was on £90! HD60's great and plays back superbly thru iTunes and on the iPhone/Pod and not bad on my 47 Phillips LCD TV neither.
So easy to download and edit in iMovie and upload to Youtube. Takes good stills too!
I carry it around a lot and it's going to Oz with me in Feb a great mate for my Nikon D80. Far more than cheap and cheerful.
