Good: Sharp bright video, easy to use, long lasting
Bad: No additional sofware or leads
Comment: The MVX20i delivers great quality video and stills, with easy to use controls. What's great is you can put it in auto mode, where the camera automatically adjusts, or you can set it up yourself which means you can get every shot exactly as you want it.
The 1.33MP CCD gives superb resolution for a camcorder of this price, and records colours as they appear. I've tried similar camcorders in this price range but colours can appear faded and boring, whereas the Canon records exactly what it sees.
The batteries last for loads of time and don't seem to be giving up yet (after 4 years!) and the camera works right out of the box.
I use it mainly for extreme sports and it's taken it's fair share of bashing about and is still going strong. The only problem with this camcorder is the limitted amount of leads and accessories, though the manual is great (if you need it).
Top quality camcorder!
