Title: Poor Image quality across the board
Product review: I bought this camcorder on Friday 12/15/2006 from Best Buy. I toyed around with it in the store and it seemed like a great idea. I brought it home to shoot my sons 3rd birthday and when we turned the lights off and lit the sparklers for the cake this camcorder struggled to even stay in focus, let a lone get a decent shot of the action. I was willing to chalk this up to the low lighting conditions.My next shoot was a x-mas recital for my other boy. The lighting was pretty good at this event and the recording quality was still pretty poor. My next shoot was back at my house. I had six canlights and a fan with 2 bulbs on at the same time. This was not enough light to shoot without the gain up feature. The gain up feature causes the images to have a greyish washed out cast. I ended up returning this camera on the following Monday.If you are going to use this cam in only outdoor sunny conditions or in a brightly lit Best Buy, DON'T GET IT.
