I LOVE this camcorder. However, my dog literally ate it and found it almost impossible to fix without buying a brand new one (which they no longer make). I use the SD60 now and love it just as much, but it's silver instead of red. If it was RED it would be my favorite. Dual memory was more trouble than it was worth. Use a single chip SD camcorder, but YOU MUST HAVE OPTICAL stabilization. All others pale in comparison. Digital stabilization is a joke.
