But for being so cheap and practical, it's a good camera. I shot different videos when my baby was born and the battery was still full. Don't expect cinema-quality footage, but for fast and hassle-free video recording at home, don't worry, this camera is exactly what you need. The 78x zoom is also impressive. It has an anti-shake feature that really works. I can't believe how far this thing can get and take sharp pictures. And for those who don't know, having an internal hard drive is cool. Don't mess with drives or cameras with external storage. If you want high-resolution "Blu-ray" footage, spend the extra money on true HD cameras, but for me this camera is perfect.
