Reviewed By: jrdbrn on 5/7/2008 Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week This user purchased this item from Newegg.com Pros: Very compact! Feels like you are holding a water bottle except it is shorter :) Lots of neat features! Out the box - 2 hours on HD mode and 5 hours on standard mode. The battery lasts 90 minutes on a full charge so a spare battery would be nice for long days. Sleek design with a nice handle. USB 2.0 is decent for transfers HDMI cable is great straight to the HDTV It's made by Canon so you know its good =D Cons: No Firewire (Not a huge con) 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Reviewed By: Average Joe on 5/9/2008 Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month Pros: The quality of the video is outstanding. The fact that it records to flash memory sets it light years ahead of other media based cameras. It is very small, lightweight and does everything I need it to do. Easily the smallest camcorder I have ever owned. It fits comfortably in your hand and can be stored in your jacket pocket. Extra SD memory slot to store more video is fantastic. Cons: There are some questionable decisions that went into the design of this camera. You can record up to 6 hours of video to internal memory however the battery only lasts about 80 minutes. This makes the purchase of an additional battery (or two) almost mandatory for any all day outing. A dial is used to select between picture and video mode but there is a different button to record video and take pictures. (???) The button to take pictures must be pressed firmly, so much so that it makes it hard to keep the camera steady. A few pictures came out fuzzy because of this. The user interface is not intuitive as it should be. It will give you all the features and options but not in an easy to use fashion. Other Thoughts: Lots of Cons listed, why a 5 star rating? It does what I want it to do and it does it well. The ‘cons’ are quirky but most of them can be worked around or are just odd. As long as you are aware of these ahead of time and can accept them it is a great camcorder. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you?
