Basic Camcorder Redefined

Date of Review:  Nov 5, 2007
The Bottom Line: Excellent price, great built-in features and quality build.
Review: Let's start off by letting you know that this is my second camcorder. I bought my first camcorder - a Hitachi 8mm model back in 1995 - so I'm very familiar with using a camcorder and I know the basics (how to shoot as well as composition, video...

Great Mechanics, No frills

Date of Review:  Nov 18, 2007
The Bottom Line: Highly recommend to someone who wants an easy to use point and shoot camcorder with a super zoom. Default quality is superb and it has an Easy button.
Review: Overall the camera is very compact and easy to use. It has intuitive controls that are accessible via the LCD as a touch pad. The built in zoom is one of the best features of the camera, boasting a 40x optical and 2000x digital zoom. The 2000x range...

Having the iLink directly on the camera (instead of on a...
