Customer Feedback :
- Video Quality : Very Good. I ve taken video Outdoors and Indoors. On burning and playing it on 27 inch flat tube Sony TV, it proves to be very close to or almost DVD quality, especially for outdoor .
- Audio Quality : Dolby Digital. Very good sound quality.
- Camera Menus : Easy and Intuitive
- Ergonomics : Pretty small. Easy to handle and buttons are easy reachable.
- Still Image : I would not care to take still image using this, it s as good as taking pictures on a cell or PDA.
- Zoom : 25x is good enough. Anything above that would be difficult to hold it steady, unless you would be using a tripod.
