A great fun camera that's easy to carry around and use when you're busy having fun and taking in all the sights with still have enough quality to make video editing a real pleasure. It delivers the quality comparable to other bigger and heavier equipment without the hassles. People around you feel more relaxed by it's small size but then get really amazed when they see the finished edited output on DVD's, etc.

The picture and low-light qualities are top notch. I haven't had any issues with editing it in iMovie 09 as well! Great buy!
