Better than I had been lead to believe in low light conditions, the fixed focus was the part that let it down. At times is was not sharp enough to take full advantage of HD. Also it would have been so much better if I could find a way to turn the screen off in time lapse and motion detection modes, which I love. In bright light outside it is superb. It is fantastic value for the money, I am so pleased I bought it, if it was not fixed focus it would have full marks.

First impression are very good, It’s slim, light, easy to pop in a pocket, just what I want.
The box has everything from SD card, cables and even a small desk top tripod.
Charging didn’t take long and it runs for a long time. You are able to use as a standard digital camera or a full HD camcorder.
Picture quality was at first disappointing, image was washed out and grey, this was in doors where light was not great, camera has a small light which comes on in low light conditions, outside it was superb.
Camera shake was a problem, until I discovered the anti shake option which improved the quality.
HD video recording again suffered in doors with low light, the white balance also struggled and left a lot of white images whited out. Out doors it was brilliant.
I have still not overcome the indoor low light problem, which I understand is a problem with camcorders as a rule, but a flash would of helped the camera.
Connecting was very easy both to the PC and HDMI connection.
The camera has a fiddly menu system which I found hard to use.
All in all a lovely camera, just wish it was better indoors, value for money it is superb, and your love the size and feel.
