Basic features, but all you need for mp4 videos that look great on computer and for You Tube. Fun, small, light in weight. Works best in good lighting, but be certain to use picture settings for backlight, low light etc. Monitor screen is high contrast and actual movie is much more balanced in lighting than shown be on camera screen. Works well with Mac OS (Snow), and iMovie, or direct upload to You Tube at all resolutions. Good price, but you need to buy memory card ($34 for 4Gb/2hours) as on board internal memory only gives 20 seconds of video." Take it for what the price is and you'll be happy.

I tried several similar gadgets, and found out that Sony Webbii has the best HD quality. At the same time, lack of image stabilization left me speechless. Almost all picture cameras have image stabilization today. And this is done for fraction of the second exposure. Camcorders with out image stabilization are more like a joke. No one expect consumers to use tripod all the time with point and shoot camcorders like Sony Webbii. I returned my Sony Webbii back to the store, despite good HD quality overall.

Jury's still out on this one...
Pros: size, ease of use, versatility
Cons: Can't edit video in Sony Vegas!?? Media inconsistancy - crashes and lost data
This is a great little video camera - I think. The problem is that I can't get it's video to work right in an editor - including Sony Vegas of all things. I can load it, but it doesn't behave like normal video. It won't preplay when clips are selected. This would not be a problem if there was a better codec I could install that Vegas would use, but since I don't have one, having to covert from MP4 to AVI or MOV or WMV or whatever before I can edit with a decent editor defeats the convenience of shooting on solid state. Instead of the drudgery and time of capturing from tape - I now have the drudgery and time spent on converting to a usable file. Also - the 8GB card I bought with the camera has crashed twice now losing everything. It was a sandisk card, not sony, though - if that matters-which I think really shouldn't. The 1 GB sony card has not crashed. I'm nearing my 30 days I can return electronics and am very close to taking it back if there is no solution to editing without having to convert first. If I could just do that, I'd really love this thing! I'll consider the sandisk card a rare fluke. It happens. I can return the card. I need something simple for my staff and students to rely on. Crashing cards and file conversions will only frustrate them.

Unusable 1080
Pros: Price, size, weight
Cons: 720 video has wider angle than 1080 video, Rolling Shutter, Internal Battery, No Steadishot, Screen is always on,
The mix of No Image Stabilization and a narrower angle of view when shooting 1080 as opposed to 720 makes handheld shot video unwatchable unless shot in 720. Why would the angle of view be less when shotting 1080 as opposed to 720?! Battery should be replaceable. Should be able to turn off or at least darken the screen.

Not x64 bit compatible
Pros: that is shoots in HD
Cons: Not x64 bit compatible, no black color
Purchased the MHS-PM1 price is good, the camera is great and everything. While I was reading the manual I noticed that one of the accessory mentioned in the manual the "power cord" wasn't in the box. And when I got home plugged it in via USB ready to see my recorded video clips inserted the CD of course I'm expecting it to get all the drivers but it didn't so I went to the manual and found out it's not x64 compatible... =| so I'm returning it. I have no x86 bit OS in my house, and I don't want and will never use x86 bit OS. I'll be looking into purchasing a new and more advance camera.

MHS-CM1 Webbie
Pros: HD quality, takes pictures, size, price, 5x optical zoom, and reliable
Cons: Lighting, no night vision, short battery life, and you cannot take out the battery with out disassembling
Overall this camcorder is great for its price. Its great for traveling because of its size. It has the best HD quality available 1080P. What I didn't like about it was that it's not good in the dark or if you take it outside at night. Although it has a light on it it doesn't really help out only if you are filming something up close. I used it on fourth of july to test it out in the dark but all i could actually film were the fireworks. But the rest is great for it price.

Display problem
Pros: Nice looking camera
Cons: various cameras has display defect
I recently went down to my loca Best Buy to purchase this camera. When I turned on the camera I noticed a dark shade on the left side of the screen. This defect is quite noticeable so I proceeded to return my camera. The clerk at the store was very helpful and opened three more cameras, brand new out of the box. all of the had the same defect. I am now waiting for new shipment to arrive this Friday to see if the new batch will have the same problem.
