Review title: A warning about filters
Product review: I've had this camcorder since 2008, and I'm happy with it still. I have a warning for you if you're considering buying UV and/or polarizing filters - DON'T! I ordered a set, supposedly fit this camcorder, but they do NOT fit! I e-mailed Canon, they said it does not accept filters. After looking at the threads, I noticed they are not round! The sides are rounded, but the top and bottom are almost flat. No way to attach a lense or filter. Other than that, I'm happy with this camcorder. For indoor shots, I use a couple of Sunpak video lights, nice results (too bad they only work for about 15 minutes, and take 5 hours to recharge, but they were cheap). I paid a lot more than the price Amazon is now asking, but that was 2 years ago. So, if you want a decent camcorder for your home videos, this is a good choice. I never tried the included software, can't vouch for that. I use Linux, so it's no use to me anyway. I use dvgrab to capture the video, and Kino to edit and export to MPEG.
