Less expensive, smaller camcorder!

Image day outdoors: perfectly fine
Picture daytime indoors: in order
Image indoors with artificial light / low light: with artifacts
Sound: useful, no noise

... Unfortunately no connection for an external microphone.
... Lens can be closed -> very practical.
... Handle with hanging strap can be rotated.

To control: The camera fits comfortably in your hand, is lightweight and can be controlled intuitively.
The battery lasts me about 4 hours. On my 4GB memory card fit about 2 1/2 hours of film.

Conclusion: For the price a successful camera that meets the needs of the amateur filmmaker needs. Therefore 5 stars instead of one of my colleagues, who apparently measures this camera to Semipro- cameras. In addition, the design of the camera is very well done.
