Great camera, mediocre software

by f8ster , Dec 2, 2007
Pros: Video and audio quality; size and weight
Cons: Software; battery life
The Bottom Line: A very good camera, somewhat blemished by a weak software bundle. A very good choice if you use a third-party video editing package.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: Quick Summary

Very high quality video; small, lightweight camera body; nice feature set; good low-light options; funky, piecemeal software bundle. Overall, a very nice camera.
