I really hate to say this but even after all of the amazing features this camcorder has, the image stabalization makes it totally useless, you can use a tripod but that really defeats the purpose of a small camera. It takes fair stills but if you cannot get good video you might as well get a dedicated point and shoot digital, I bought 2 of these one for a gift and the other for me and the other was the vpc fh1 just the same camera upgraded and it was the same totally useless image stabalization. this camera just serves no purpose until they address that one issue’ unfortunately it is an issue that makes it pretty much useless.

While it does shoot at 60p, the image quality is mediocre at best. Motion artifacts every time you pan (and this is true ALSO for interlaced resolutions so let’s not go there) Heavily compressed image looks “plastic” and too electronic. Just like the type of video you can shoot with a point-and-shoot digital camera, but at higher pixel count.
The size vs convenience ratio simply does not justify the price and poor picture quality.

Easy to use and set up. But the HD video quality is not as clear and vivid color as I expected. I had tried both different camera and video mode with all settings. I purchased this camcorder based on the great reviews this Sanyo Xacti camcorder received…Disappointed, I had to return it.

I purchased this cam with high hopes, but it never worked correctly. Audio and video was out of sync and lines,….some vidoe came out garbled. I am returning it, I may buy another. Thank goodness Amazon has a great return policy.
