Size, ease of use, video quality. Features are a little cumbersome to get used to, but once familiar everything is pretty simple.

I would NOT recommend this device for still pictures. While they're OK, even the slightest movement of the camera (which is nearly impossible to prevent) causes unusable, blurry images. I believe most of this is caused by the location of the shutter...

Looked at various camcorders and I am really pleased that I purchased this one. Picture quality is amazing also when transferred to DVD.

Wish that the share dock was included.
