Advantages: takes good picture good sound good quality

Disadvantages: that you have to buy lot of tapes

This Is the Best camera for the price. I have had mine for going on 3 1/2 years. it has good picture quality. make sure. you use high 8 tapes. if you connect it to the computer you'll have to hit menu and go down to the settings and hit yes for usb streaming otherwise won't work. the disc that comes with to upload the pictures and videos does not work wll the video portion does but i have to use my disc that came with my printer and it works good. the price for this is usually 100 dollars less around christmas or thanksgiving. You'll love this. it has excellent battery life.i have never had to buy another battery. i charge it and use it and it stays charged for at least 5 hours even though it says that it only had 120 minutes left of battery time. you can also upload the photos on to photobucket using this camera.

thanks,
Morgan
