First IImpressions Are WOW!,
Just got this as a birthday present and my first impressions are Wow!
I will update on transferring and the DVD/Hard Disc quality when Ive monkeyed about and loaded the software.
The Casing and the build quality is top notch. Sleek and beautiful, with such a light and small machine, yet it feels so tactile to hold. The buttons are substantial yet nimble and the great thing about it is even the missus thinks it looks sexy.
As for simple operations, I am using a fast SD memory card so I works like a dream and if you are saving money not buying one with a solid state state drive I reckomend you buy the best quality you can afford, then skimp on the GB as you can buy more later and swap them quick as a flash (no pun intended).
It records constantly when you turn it on so it will add the first 3 seconds before you press record to any shot so you dont miss anything – this is perhaps the most exciting feature im waiting to try on our little one and will update how it works.
As for sound, it comes out perfectly pleasant, no harsh base tones from voices behind the camera, and it will pick up far away noises too, so this might make shooting in a croud annoying, I hope the software will be able to tone down background noise, but filming a quick blog, I could hear very clearly my wife in the other side of the house on the playback (although she is very noisy on the phone).
And as for Picture this is where I am so excited. In low lighting and shooting indoors at night I would have thought it would have a strange look like the similarly priced Sony and Panasonic’s, yet it was crisp and clean with the minimum of fuss on the image and looked spectacular even on the little screen.
Anyway I shall update later so for now it gets 4*

|innovative,
Having purchased my first Cannon videocam in 2001, this third one developed is astoundingly light, has much longer battery life and has all the desirable features at a very attractive price. Compared to one from another manufacturer recently purchased by a family member, the automatic shutter over the lens is an advantage and one less button to remember to press before filming.
