What's great about it:?great picture in both HD and standard format What's not so great:?nightshot has very short range "Overall this camera is almost as good as my two thousand dollar sony professional High Def camera but in a smaller size. I saw several people complain about the lack of a hard drive on this model but in reality you get better video shooting onto tape a hard drive compresses your video so you loose a slight amount of quality. from Bestbuy.com Plus I can play back recorded material on my HD televisions. Not to mention record while plugged into my laptop. from now on I'll only buy sony camcorders. from Bestbuy.com ProsVery nice picture quality, love the touch screen, I also like the fact that I can connect this to my HD tv with the HDMI connection.
