Summary
Not so Bad for its price..
680k Pixel, 1/6" CCD was enough to make home video.
Lenses are bright(F=1.4)
But, User Interfaces are so terrible.
You hae to use both of hands to select menu. And I always mis-pressed the player switches(they are mis-placed and too soft).

As known, Still Images are awful.. If you
want still images from DV Cam, don't use this. But, As DV cam, I think it has very competitive performance for price..
But you have to remind of the limitations from its price!!

Strengths
Price, Lenses

Weaknesses
User Interface.
DV interface(IEEE1394) - hard to link

Summary
Why is it so hard to make a Mini DV camera, that takes good Digital stills? I purchased this camera in the hopes of recording Stills along with Video, and while an 8mb SD card is provided with the camera, the still photos are terrible. Save your money, Do NOT fork out extra cash for a DV camera that captures stills. Instead go out and buy an HP Photosmart 120 for about $100, along with a less expensive DV camera.

Strengths
Easy Q, makes for smooth jitter free recording.

Weaknesses
Still.... Photo's..... Are.... Awful!!!
