Customer Review: Would like it to be more intuitive
Summary: 4 Stars
One of the first things I notice about any electronic equipment is how much time I actually need to spend with the manual. I would much rather look at the equipment and know immediately what to do without having to read up on it-just grab and go. To me, this is an important feature. That's where I had the most problem with this camera. I had to play around with it to figure out all the functions. I did eventually, but it took more time, effort and battery power than I wanted. I did buy a second battery.
A hand strap that can be adjusted to a shorter length would be nice. The strap is adjustable, of course, but even after a few minutes I noticed fatigue in my wrist as a result of not being able to shorten the strap sufficiently to fit my hand.
Sound and picture quality: overall satisfied with quality for the price I paid, which was well under 200 clams. I can't imagine paying the near 600 for it, though! I did buy a lavaliere mike for use with it in case I want it, which I intend to use for casual business applications.
Versatility: both card and tape options. I did buy a firewire for it.
Do I like the camera? Yes, and I'd recommend it to a friend.
