Strengths: easy to use, very small and lightweight
Weaknesses: exterior gets scratched up easily
Summary: bought this camcorder a couple weeks ago and i love it. used it on 4th of july to video the family and the fireworks, came out great. i really like the joystick control on the lcd that allows you to change menu items, it's very handy. i also like that you can change the recording aspect ratio from 16:9 to 4:3 depending on the kind of tv you'll be playing back on. all in all i'm happy with my purchase.
