Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Great zoom, image stabilizer, turnable LCD great design, powerful flash, convenient button locations, fairly easy to use
Cons: Heavy, no case provided, few manual controls,
Opinion:
I love it! I've brought it out many times, and it never ceases to turn heads. Ultra-small for a video camera, makes great videos, and can take photos while filming. Photo quality is great when compared to Casio, Sony, Nikon digicams I've had in the past.
