Review:

After reading all the "professional" reviews, i decided to try the MG57 anyway and i am completely pleased. It may not be a top of the line, pro video / coffee maker but it is a very competent video camera.
The manual is actually useful although you dont need it. The menus are easy to use and on "auto" the camera takes very good video or stills.
I chose this over the MG77 because it has a video light (vs. a flash) and I dont expect to take serious still pics with it (although the stills are quite good).
The controls and menus are really well thought out (big change from most gadgets like my cell phone ;-)
the size and weight are very good and the unit is always ready to use, just open the lcd and 3 seconds later you are recording!
Mac SW is supplied for trimming the clips and combining them into one file for burning or opening in iMovie, this sw is simple but easy to use and does exactly what is needed.
This is a very competent little camera and i expect to get a lot of enjoyment out of it.
