All right, so I'd been looking for a better camera than my old one for months, but every time I looked at one, there was some big flaw with it that was a deal breaker to me, such as, It was to expensive, only recorded in 720p and 30 frames per second. (Which is the lowest form of HD in existence. Anyway, I looked at this one and OHMIGOSH! It had everything the 0 camcorders had. It has
1080p at 30 frames per second
720p at 60 frames per second for action shots
It has a place to put an external mic
It has a 5x optical zoom and a 4x digital zoom
It has video stabilization
It has a good battery life
It works with wondows
And it's only 4!
It doesn't get a whole lot better than that anyway, but for just 164 bucks that's awesome.
So when I got it, I immediately started filming, and it was great. There are only to problems I can see with this camera. First off, Windows will accept the videos it shoots but Windows Movie Maker wont, as WMM doesn't take the .mov format. So, I suggest getting a new edting software if yours won't take .mov. Personally I like Pinnacle Studios 11, which will take the HD format.
Overall a great camera. I hope you enjoy it as much as i do.
