Good value for the price. Only shot a few basketball games so far. Video quality is good. One of the only bundles around that offered a bag that was actually sized appropriately for the camcorder. Also, bag Is lowepro, which is good quality. Nice to see quality items in a bundle and not cheap stuff.

So i am impressed with the camera, which is to be expected since the last camcorder i used was a Mini DV. The video looks great and camcorder is quite intuitive. My only gripe is with the accessory bundle that adorama offered with the camcorder. I received an standard SD card with this camcorder and it requires a micro SD card, making the standard size card useless. I ensured that it was not an adapter with a micro card in it, as that was my first thought when i saw it in the packaging. That lack of follow through on the bundle is the sole reason i am docking the bundle two stars.
