    CNET Review

    February 18, 2003

    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.
