Questions & Answers

Shopper : how do you get recordings to play on your computer?STEVE W : Good question; I have not had time to play with the camcorder yet; SorryDAN R : I returned this camera for poor quality video and other matters. As for capturing video to the PC, I use a flash card reader and download the file directly from the card. I am now using a Nikon P510 for both stills and video. This has been a great camera after getting a handle on using the P setting, and compensating on the exposure. Again, I use the SD card from the camera, and download to the PC through a card reader. Hope this helps with your question.ANDREW R : From the instruction manual: "You can perform the functions listed below by connecting your camcorder to your Windows computer with a USB cable and using the Intelli-studio editing software built into your camcorder.

ahhhhh...not so much.

I am a coach and using this camera to show players our games films. In doing so, I have to rewind frequently and replay a certain few seconds. The functions on this camera for doing so are so painfully slow and time consuming. Also, there is a big chance of skipping to the beginning of a scene instead of rewinding if you don't have a very steady hand. Ultimately, the buttons for FF & RW just aren't user friendly.

Gets the job done

I purchased this camcorder to create a short documentary video for a class project. I love the size of it and it's very easy to use. The zoom is amazing, but the auto focus can be a bit annoying because sometimes it doesn't focus when you zoom really close. The HD video quality was good enough but the sound recording isn't that great. Overall, though, I am very happy with this camcorder.
