Good: Compactness, AV & DV IN, digital quality (true widescreen) footage.
Bad: Jerky auto-exposure.
Comment: Well, I think this is a brilliant camera with just the one exception, the auto-exposure...
If you're panning from a bright scene to a dark scene (or vice versa), the auto-exposure is not very smooth at all, it drops or rises with sudden large steps. I'm pretty sure the picture also jumped a few pixels across in the frame when it did this exposure jump too :(
You can however, take it off Auto and set exposure manually OR let the auto-exposure find its level then "lock" the exposure at that level... this however is not much use for panning from light to dark or dark to light scenes.
So, if you can find creative ways around this particular issue, everything else the camera has to offer is superb :)
Tip: As with all still or video photography - a quality tripod or monopod (something to keep the camera steady) is a must for professional looking results ;)

Good: Zoom and pic quality
Bad: Pixels could be higher...!
Comment: Great cam with good features with easy to use buttons. I went to buy the Sony HC96 but then I saw this Canon and compared them. It's a winner for me. It works better in low light, whereas with the Sony you have to enable the nightshot mode to take the same video. The controls are in better positions and the zoom is way better than the Sony. The price is really good too, plus I got a tripod, extra battery, 3 DV cassettes, a bag, 1GB memory (that I upgraded to 2GB for little), a remote control, a UV filter etc in the same deal - I'd have to pay extra for these with the Sony. For me, its a winner.
