I picked one up for less than 100 bucks new now. It is a bit jittery if you wave it about. Put it on a tripod. It gets a little grainy in low light. Turn the lights on. I think tis was pretty good review. At current time, its the perfect thing to get into the hi-def video realm for cheap. For what it is, its pretty cool. I didn't expect to spend 100 bucks and then go film a major motion picture with it. No one else should either. Guess what, you can get a Canon XL-H1S for $7500 and it has killer motion stability and an external mic. C'mon people.
