Title: Good picture, poor sound
Product review: After buying this camera to use with a computer for editing it was a dream. Everything that you need. The 250 though doesn't have the flash rom. The problem with it though is the sound. The 450 and higher models all come with a boom mic that picks up sound as you Zoom. IT's truly amazing. After being sold the 250, being told it was the same as the 450, we were very dissapointed. Our main frustration is that the optional Microphone isn't available, or VERY difficult to aquire. And to tell the truth a waste of investment without it. You get all abmient sounds clearly, but the people right in front of the camera you can barely hear, for the great sound of a car passing by or the wind, or...If youre after a camera buy the 450. Or stick with a company that has better after sales service.
