Bought this as a Christmas present for family and I'm still very happy with it. It's surprisingly small, lightweight, and very easy to use; The zoom is quick and intuitive, and the focus is pretty fluid even when I'm moving the camera trying to capture the action on the rink. I am particularly satisfied with the pickup. Without an external microphone, it picks up voices clearly and works well even in noisy ice rink environments. I have yet to try many of the many fancy features detailed in the extensive and easy-to-read manual. I recorded in both Mac iMovie (forgot the exact term) and ACHD format. I have successfully uploaded videos in both formats to my iMac (OS 10.6, iMovie09). (iMovie09 has a NOT IN CAMERA bug that makes it a bit difficult to load both formats, but an internet search solved the problem - and the bug is said to be fixed in iMovie11.)
