Good: Those lovely CCDs
Bad: Blurry noise in low-level light conditions
Comment: Ooh this is a Winner (and not of the Michael variety). Just fantastic image quality under normal lighting conditions. This may even survive the imminent tech transition to high def... Ok, it might not have all the features craved by indie film makers (progressive scan etc) but it does have a letterbox mode for those times you want to make your home movies look like a Ridley Scott film. The camera is so small and perfectly formed too. Bless.
The only slight fly in the ointment is the automatic low shutter speed in low-level light conditions. This means that if you're filming at a dark, vicious party you're liable to get trails and noise that are nothing to do with intoxicants and sound systems.
However, those three lovely CCDs work like a charm normally, and make for fantastic picture quality.

Good: Tiny weeny camera
Bad: Controls a bit fiddly for a big-fingered person
Comment: Rocks overall.
