The camera has a very good image and a very good sound.
The camera is very small and fits comfortably in your hand. The Zoom reaches out completely. At maximum zoom you need for quiet recordings already a tripod.
The only downside: The camera unfortunately takes more than can be seen on the display. I would like to have an absolute image control, this is not so nice. On a request from Canon whether this will be fixed in a future firmware or whether it may be selected, I'm still waiting.
