Decent Camcorder Lives Up to Its Name

--fair image stabilization, clean picture, clear if small sound with decent range, and overall easy to use. Fits in a convenient shoulder bag. Decent battery consumption.
--Low light shooting is insufficient, and the zoom is too sensitive. Like almost all camcorders I have ever seen, the control scheme is biased for righties.
--I must be one of the lucky few, because I have not suffered the faulty CCD after 20+ hours of recording and banging the camera around.
--Compatible with Vista firewire drivers for video transfer; however, Vista does not support USB streaming.
