We've been away this weekend to Ludlow for a medieval Xmas fayre and I've given the camcorder a good workout and I have to say that overall I'm very impressed with it for the price. I've shot about half an hours worth of video and about 30 or so stills and the battery has shown no signs of running out. Stills picture quality ain't great but then my two other cameras are a 7MP compact and a 10.1 MB DSLR so it has a hard couple of acts to follow. Video image quality is very good for such a compact unit, yeah OK you can't zoo in or anything and you have to take a best guess at what you've got it pointing at but a bit of trial and error gets you there, of course if you were fitting it to a car for a track day you'd hook it up to a lappie to set the camera up for what you want. Greatest bit of it was NOBODY figured it for a camera, some thought it was a torch and a few thought it was a microphone. I'll be using this little cracker on my works Xmas pissup
