Great Camcorder

I will have to say, within my arsenal of cameras, this little guy packs a punch! Amazing quality! Small and easy to handle. Great compensation with Steady Shot! This is a must have for peopleo on the go. For the price you pay, you are getting an amazing deal! I would recommend this camcorder to anyone.
