Rating: Summary: Awesome capabilites!! Review: This camera was a lifesaver for me. I had to do a video presentation for my school's graduation ceremony, and this definitely served it's purpose. I got amazing quality of video, and then with Apple's iMovie software, I made a great movie. Mixed with my friends capabilities in Macromedia Flash, we were the talk of the show. I definitely recommend this camera if you want some high-quality stuff. If you want easy editing, go with Apple's iMovie, or for the more professional, try out Final Cut Pro. Keep up the good work, Apple and Canon.
