Bought for my wife as a Christmas present based on quality reviews. I wish I had had this a year ago. The video quality is fantastic. I'm a bit picky about audio and video quality so I gave up on video. But after seeing what this camera is capable of, I went back to watching the video. The quality this camera is able to offer is excellent, far better than anything I own or have seen from other people. It reminds me of what I've seen on professional cameras but without the bulkiness. If video quality is important to you, this is probably the cheapest route you can go and still be happy with the quality.
