    My wife enjoys taking videos when we are on vacation. This will serve her well when we attend our next reunion in Florida this spring. The price can't be beat and it's a Canon no less!

    All I had too do was mess around with it for about 7 minutes to figure out all this camcorder can do which makes it easy to use. I have had no problem with it so for it works great.

    Use this camera every week to do videos of people talking. Audio is very good, stability is great and actually deals well with the wind outdoors. Easy to get video off the camera.

    Really like this little guy. Has great zoom. One drawback of it being so small is trying to keep it steady. External battery is a nice feature too in my opinion

    Great looking picture and intuitive controls. Very happy with it. The built-in microphone does not handle wind well, but inside and in light wind it works great.
