I don't use it I have a son for skate, surf and skim videos. He loves to. I forgot what camcorder he's using, it's not premium, but it's not cheap either, it's HD. ($450 or so IIRC). I checked it out a few times as it shows me what it's capable of and it's pretty cool. Crystal clear, no distortion. When he gets on the ground and films his buddies skating, you see the whole scene ALL. Very cool. Highly recommended.
