PROS
Pros:
- 1080p – excellent video quality. It’s HD!
- I love the 4 button custom shortcuts!

- Impressive 16x zoom!
- Image stabilizer.
- Excellent battery life.
- Comes with standard composite(yellow; red/white)+S-video AND component (RGB – HD).

- Can fast forward up to 15x and can display 21 video thumbnails (by pressing the zoom out button; default shows 8 thumbnails) that you recorded on the screen
- Can take snapshots frame by frame of recorded video.
Cons
- Not Touch Screen.
- No automatic lens cover.
- No built-in memory.
- No external mic.
- I wish it would have an option to keep recording even if you close the LCD (it ends up stopping the recording because it automatically goes to standby mode).
- Preset manual focus distances (but at least they have auto focus lock).
- Can’t manual focus once you hit record. (however, you can still focus lock/unlock).
- Tripod stand hole is not centered!
- The set button has somewhat of a cheap feel.
