I've been blogging for 5 years now. In the beginning it was the best technology I have ever used. After about two years, I noticed a decrease in video quality. I've never been so impressed with photos, but they're better than nothing. My wife liked it, now she only uses her cell phone. The focus is now constantly changing when I record a video, which is very annoying. I'm ready for another one. All in all I think I've had about 2 years of good work and I think I got my money's worth. I very rarely get it now. I'd love to fix it, but it's hardly worth the money.
