Excellent Camera (Patrick - 5/4/09)

Out of the box this camera comes set at its 2nd lowest (out of 4) HD settings. Once you go through the menu and set it to the highest setting (16mbps) and change to max color (x.y.whatever) it looks amazing! The smile capture is a neat and works well. Planning to get a wide angle lens. Other than that its more than I ever needed as far as quality and ease of use. You wont regret this purchase.
