LIGHTWEIGHT, SIMPLE TO USE.

PLAYBACK BIT FIDDLEY DUE TO A TOO SMALL JOYSTICK.

External microphoen socket, a rare treat on a budget camcorder. Good overall picture and easy to use.

I'd like easier manual focus and an ability to add a remote control. As its so light using zoom or manual focus causes camera movement, even on a tripod. Maybe too much to expect for a budget unit though!

light weight good screen small easy connection to computer

A bit too much plastic feel and low battery life

Very simple to use and not over technical with features.

The only bad point i think is that you can only charge the battery in the camera instead of a separate charging dock.

I had read reports on your Site that the image quality was not great, but I have found it to be very good. Ease of use is a big factor and connection to a TV screen is simple.

The directional button is a bit fiddly, but that is probably to keep size to a minimum.

Very light, easy to use and charge

appears delicate. One problem is that it is too easy to wipe previously recorded material.

EASY TO HANDLE,DOES WHAT I WOULD EXPECT FROM A CAMCORDER OF THIS PRICE.ITS A LOVELY SIZE.MY LAST ONE WAS HUGE IN COMPARISON.

INSTRUCTIONS DO GO ON A BIT! I KEEP CATCHING THE ZOOM BUTTON WHILST HOLDING IT MY PALM.

This product offers excellant value for money. It is compact and lightweight and very easy to use. Normally I get my husband to set new fangled things up for me but I did it all myself with this one. The image quality is good and the sound quality...

The joystick is a little clumbsy and there isn't a fade in/out button but otherwise - great product.

The camera is small and light, ideal for carrying wherever you go. It is easy to use, my 8 year old has mastered it!

Slightly plastic look and feel to case - not a major issue.

bought for a 10yr old and simple enough for her to use
