Easy to use, handy, small to fit palm size, lightweight, 3-CCD ...

I'm using this for 6 months and I said that although image stabilizer function is OFF video quality is the best during daylight condition. In night, (tripod is must) it is OK. Manual controls are efficient to use easily. I've never use MagicPix function. If the image stabilizer is set when the wide function is used, the wide function will be cancelled. When you record a moving subject while tracking it MagicPix will be not work as efficient as you think!!
White balance function is not working as good as daylight function. I am using daylight function many times (outdoor function).
Shutter speed range is superb at Tape Recording mode (1/60 to 1/8000 seconds)
Shutter speed of Card Recording is poor 1/30 to 1/500
Iris values are also superb f:16-f:2. It is enough to get really natural color pictures.
USB 2.0 is necessary to record DV Movie.
Zoom is fast and quiet. Picture quality isn't good as much as I thought. It may be better? Leica-Dicomar optics!! 3 -CCD ??
At last, Video quality is natural and crisp during daytime...
Recordable time is enough getting a spare battery advisable.
