Reviews of the Canon DC50

The Good: Very robust still-photo mode; good video quality; features both video light and flash.
The Bad: Pricey for a standard-def camcorder, uses miniSD instead of SD cards.
The Bottom Line: If you can get past the DC50's sticker shock, you'll find a very nice, simple DVD camcorder that can produce some surprisingly good snapshots.
