Title: Nice features for a nice price -- a good starter DV camera
Product review: I did a lot of research in looking for a camcorder. I knew I wanted DV because of superior picture quality especially when editing on a PC.It comes with all the basics, battery, charger, AC adapter, lens cap w/leash, remote control, RCA cables, and serial cable. Missing are a Firewire IEEE-1394 cable--this may be included with your firewire board though, S-video cable and SmartMedia card.Digital Still photo quality is decent for web work but I wouldn't print larger than a 4 x 6 picture. You can write digital stills to the tape. However, using a SmartMedia card records them faster.I found the camera easy to use. Video quality is excellent thanks in part to a Canon lens. The optical zoom is fantastic 26x is more than enough for most people's needs. Digital zoom doesn't do much for you.Overall, it's a good value especially if you take advantage of the rebate and free accessory kit.
