Anonymous verified purchaser , “Avid Canon fan!!”
Score 10.0/10+ Almost everything is superb on this camcorder, the image is amazing, the zoom is more than adequate, in fact the digital zoom, which I've never liked to use on cameras before - usually too gainy, is incredible. It weighs next to nothing, easy to hold, easy menu functions, once familiar with, so much better than the fiddly Sony on-screen menus. The battery life and power management is excellent too. Nice touch to have the battery flush with the body, I stumped for 2 standard batteries, which is more than adequate and thus leaves the same non-protruding super looks. Oh and the onboard flash, no moving parts means less weight and power conumption. Truly Excellent!
- Bad points! Well... Canon could have used the standard hot-shoe rather than bespoke, there are limited and expensive attachments for this. Mini HDMI is ok, but when are manufacturers going to include this cable? Any sort of bag or protective cover should be included for as well. Come on Canon lead the way and start including extras for your loyal customers!!! Can't think of anything else!

Score 8.0/10+ great image quality....low weight, relative ease of use for basic functions.
- Small but can be uncomfortable to hold unless at 'eye height', but with no viewfinder there's no need to have it at eye height. If only I could play back the files on my high-spec PC without the picture jerking; and that's after the file has been transferred to my hard drive.

Anonymous verified purchaser , “Excellent picture quality”
Score 9.0/10+ Light, easy to use, great picture quality and SD cards for recording so no moving tapes or disks.
- Sound is not in the same league as the excellent picture quality just average for a camcorder. You need a seriously powerful computer to edit video recorded in HD mode, minimum 2.8Ghz Intel duo core processor and preferably faster.

Score 9.0/10+ easy to use straight out of the box. Fantastic image results.
- built in mic is a little noisey in the wind. Battery life with included battery is a little short. The zoom switch is a little uncomfortable to use at first
