Prior to my purchase decision I have read many comments in div. Forums on this camcorder. And ranged from very negative to very positive. I as a film-layman have to agree to the latter judgment. The camcorder is super light and small. The shots are well in daylight in the interior and the sound quality is quite sufficient for my needs. The forums in the negative came out arguments, the camcorder would make bad pictures in artificial light, only applies when incorrect settings of the div. To modes. The argument that the push was to hear when you take, is not true in my case. In short, the camcorder is the right place for private filmmakers and makes me happy with 5 stars.
