Summary: Amazing
Review: This camera records in such a clear and film like quality, you will wonder why more people aren't using it. I have tried out the other cameras on the market in this price range and no camera comes close. Shooting 24 frames per second is one of the coolest and most useful features of this camera, if you are interested in converting to film, this is exactly what you want.The camera has a great view finder and LCD screen, it also has a a ton of options that really complete the package. I have been looking for a while, the camera that is the next step above this is about $60,000, so this is definately a good starting camera and well worth the money, though make sure you shop around. The microphone works well, but I still went out and got a boom mic, it captures pictures in the dark wonderfully and the LCD screen lets you know if you are picking up sound or if there is over exsposure on something. I haven't had time to figure out the entire camera yet, but this thing is definately leaps and bounds ahead of any competition at the moment, do not settle for second best, it is a distant second.

Summary: The Best Professional MiniDV Camcorder made!
Review: This camera without question will turn the indie film making world on it's heals. My first indie film "Smokin' Stogies" was shot all on 35mm film. If I had this camera then, I would have saved thousands and thousands of dollars. The picture quality in 24p mode is so good, that it will shock any hard core film geeks into using it. Better than 35mm film...no. Better than 16mm film...yes!
I would put the image quality right in between the two, that's how good this camera is. If it sounds to good to be true, that's because it is.
