Tony, Edinburgh

+ Easy to use, good facilities

- Same unit used to charge / attach to PC / attach to TV this means that to attach to the PC takes two cables and a combination box. Need to carry a lot of wires with you when out and about.

+ As a beginner to taking moving pictures, this camcorder is simple and easy to use, whilst offering a very good range of features.

- Quality is not outstanding, but this isn't really a criticism as it represents excellent value for money.
