Advantages: high optical zoom, DV link (for pc / mac), small, and many more

Disadvantages: none that i have come across

this camcorder is by far above learly any other camcorder on the market mainly for one fundimental reason, the fact that it has a 20x optical zoom, most thease days only have 10x or 15x if your lucky, a high didgital zoom is a good thing to have but the problem is with didgital zoom is that it gets pixely and unstable the more that you zoom in, with optical zoom it is actualy the lenses that are moving and the quality of picture is never lost,
Also this camcorder has a dv link so you can stream in real time from your pc/ mac and navigate from your pc/ mac, it is a very user freindly camcorder and i wouldnot swap mine for any other,
All i can say now is if you are thinking of bying a camcorder but dont realy know much about them or even if you do, you will not be dissapointed with this camcorder, it is spot on, especialy for the money.
