This camera produces excellent visuals inside, no need 4 a flash or any other lightings, it adjust itself perfectly!
Rating: 4 of 5 With good lighting...stunning HD images
I've had the camera now 4 a month. It's pretty straight forward 2 use & all features seem 2 work as described. I bought a mini-HDMI cable (also from amazon) & played video back on my 50in plasma straight from the camera. Great pictures with good lighting...ie outside in the daytime & inside with all the lights on. The image deteriorates rapidly in lower light, gets very grainy. Sound is OK but if you want the sound 2 equal picture quality in good lighting, you probably need an external mic...I imagine this is the same 4 any camcorder.
I have yet 2 download video onto a computer however. I little apprehensive based on all the comentary about download speed & computer requirements. I actually am in the market 4 a new computer...so in the mean-time I bought a few of the 16GB cards. 4GB equals about 30 minutes in the highest resolution.
Summary. Very pleased. Worth the money. Straight-forward function. Need a good computer.

If you have an HD-TV this camera is the way 2 go. it is much cheaper than the newer models & the picture quality is great! I am not a technically savvy person & found this camera very easy 2 use. Save money! Buy this one over the newer models.

This is really a cool one, I bought it 4 my dad's gift. He really likes it. Everyone should buy one!
Rating: 5 of 5 Great Camcorder
I really have enjoyed this camcorder. Easy 2 use. Small in size, big in features.
My only issue has been with my iMac in terms that it can take forever 4 iMovie 2 detect the camera. But I think that has 2 do with the Mac not the camera.
Now that you've upgraded your TV 2 an HDTV widescreen, doesn't it make sense 2 consider a Hi-Def Camcorder? The CanonVIXIAHF100 captures videos at 1920x1080 4 true 1080i display. There are no tapes or discs 2 concern yourself with. It has an SD SDHC slot 4 video storage. So let your videos fill your new TV screen. Use the VIXIA from Canon.
