I just came back from family vacation from sunny Mexico, connected camcorder via HDMI cable to my HDTV, and I was stunned. Picture quality from this camcorder was amassing and comparable to if not better then blu ray DVD. Outdoors shoots were comparable to professionally done movies, color were vibrant and rich, but not over saturated. They were natural, and accurate. Sharpness was excellent, and thanks to superfast auto focus you do not vast firs few very important seconds of your video on un usful video footage. Indoor footage was a little bit granny, but considering low light conditions I did not expect better results. You can use built in video light to improve video image for close shoots (which did help), but I plan on purchasing external video light that you can connect via hot shoe connector. You can do a ton of adjustments on this camcorder, and that was important to me since I used to work as a cameraman for TV station. Sound was great, and you can control level of sound recorder during recording (this is one of many professional tools in consumer camcorder in this price range offered only by CANON). Still photos were great quality. Do not let relatively low number of pixels on this camcorder to confuse you. This camcorder is equipped with 3.3 MP chip, good enough to reproduce stunning still pictures as big as 8x10. If you want to make poster size pics, than you would need more mega pixels. This camcorder is so small and lightweight that I fit in in camcorder/camera bag that I carry on my belt. I owned this camcorder for only 7 days and I am vary satisfied with my purchase.
Prior to this one I owned several Sony camcorders (analog and digital), and I was big fan of them, but I have to say: GOODBY SONY, HELLO CANON.
