Review:


The good:  Easy to operate; AC adapter can charge batteries; decent instruction manual; accessory shoe; less expensive than most DVD camcorders.

The bad: Mediocre video quality; very few manual controls; some buttons are poorly designed; no video light; DVD-RAM media creates playback headaches; poor menus on finalized DVDs.
