Just received so I'm not an expert yet. First impressions: -Easy to use, I didn't have to read the manual (just the first few pages so as not to ruin the battery) -Very good quality in low light Good zoom (30x) that allows you to shoot from a long distance Film quality: very good, but since it's my first camcorder I don't have any comparison parameters, so I'll buy a second one for my pocket just in case. Interface: It doesn't have a USB port, but it does have a FireWire port, so I can download
