What's great about it:?records on mini dvd or hard drive. What's not so great:?on/off switch moves in a small bag.....turns on "I really like this camera. from Bestbuy.com Wow. I have to admit, having the DVD and HD Hybrid combo is REALLY NICE!One of my concerns was the video quality. It's not professional grade, but for my purposes (home videos), it's fine. from Circuitcity.com Tired of mini dv recordings that I can't copy to a dvd without taking to a specialty shop. NOW I don't have to. from Amazon.com I just started messin around with the camera and found if you change the extension of the movie file to mpeg/mpg you can view the file without any software conversion. Just upload the movie file from the camcorder HD to your computer HD change the extension and it should work. from Amazon.com Reliable and good feature but brook in less than a year; I bought the camera at the end of 2007; and the inside transistor got burn, according to the warranty Tech, but it's fixable..... maybe I had a bad apple?? from Amazon.com Got this two days before trip to Hawaii. Was simple to get started. Only two things could make it perfect: a light for night recording and still pictures with more pixels. All in all, it was everything I expected it to be. from Amazon.com After reading the reviews on this product, I thought it would be great to have on my trip to Maui. What a disappointment! from Amazon.com I purchased this to film my godson's wedding and bachelor party and then I'm giving the couple the video and the camera as a wedding present. I've been using it for a month prior to the wedding and find that it suits my needs in just about all respects. from Amazon.com The picture quality is good, and the camcorder is easy to use. There are challenges, however, when using a DVD-RW in obtaining synch'ed sound/picture and direct capturing audio with picture to a Mac (PC compatibility seems fine). from Amazon.com I did a little research and decided I would get a hybrid camcorder. I found the camcorder to have great audio and video quality. from Amazon.com
