CNET Review
The Good: Easy to operate; generally good video quality; strong home-video feature set.
The Bad: Constant low-level noise; middling low-light performance; no control over auto power-off.
The Bottom Line: An attractively priced, compact camcorder suited to everything but shooting in dim light.
