Advantages: Great videos and pictures can be taken with this device

Disadvantages: Says easy to operate but there are lots of settings and can be hard to find a setting

I must admit when I first got this camcorder I didn't know where anything was or how to use it properly and took me a few days to get up to scratch. This camcorder is able to record DVD-R discs and can also rewrite DVD's too meaning you can record over old videos you may have on old discs as long as the discs themselves are RW (re-writeable) too.

The camera has a 41 times zoom which means you can zoom in on objects further. I have used this function to zoom in and use photo mode to take pictures without the need of a digital camera.

This camcorder also comes with an AV output which enables you to put the video you are seeing on your camcorder onto a TV screen live. For example if you move around the room whilst plugged into the TV and you TV is set to the AV channel then you will see everything on TV that you see on the viewing pane on your camcorder.

There is also a joystick on the viewing panel which lets you move around menus as if you were playing a computer game but it just adds another user friendly notch on this device.

The battery life on this product is quite good and lasts a good few hours and comes with a charger. There are also different lighting effects which can alter the video/picture that you are recording. It is compatible with MAC and PC computers which is another handy advantage.

You can also use SD and MMC cards in this camcorder which also allows you to store extra data and then transfer easily onto your computer without any hassle.

I would fully recommend this anyone.

Summary: Great product and would recommend to anyone
