This camcorder has incredible high definition picture quality and it’s very easy in use. It is very small that makes it very convenient to carry it with you everywhere. Because of the small size it is a bit difficult in the beginning to handle it well and control the zoom but after some time you are getting used to it with no problem. The lack of HDMI, and microphone input are minor shortcomings for this camera as you can also have HD quality to your TV with component connection and you very rarely will need to use external microphone in a small non professional camcorder like this. In contrary to the theoretical characteristics, it shoots great in low light indoor environments. For very low light environments there is the flash light. The image quality in general under any circumstances it’s just perfect. The ergonomics are easy to get used to and the battery life is not all that bad either.
