Query: A video camera ahead of the competition

The video quality is great! Plus the steady shot, night shot and VCR features are cool indeed! Still picture quality (at 1-MEGA pixel) is also acceptable.You need to purchase a higher capacity battery because the supplied one may not be sufficient (depends on how you use this camera). I also recommend to purchase a memory stick of at least 32MB because the supplied one (8MB) may not be enough (again, depends in your application).The main drawbacks are: the tape opening located at the bottom and you need to purchase a separate video light.
