I absolutely love love love this little guy. He is lightweight, easy to use, and holds so much more data than my phone. I have a higher quality video camera but it is big by today's standards and I frequently don't bring it because I have to carry it in a video bag. This one is great for quick or more lengthy home videos in a snap. It;s easy to tuck into a pocket so it gets much more use. The playback is easy and so far my videos are very nice. I;m shooting feature films, mind you, but if you want to capture important moments with your family, this will do the trick nicely. Even does well in low light, in my experience. I haven't played with the editing software yet.
