I've had this camera for 2 weeks now, and have successfully taken sports action, indoors and outdoors videos. Happy with no purchase regrets.
Pros
-The HD picture is outstanding. Pleased with picture quality and sound.
-It is very light. 1 lb., and easy to hold and carry
-Time to power on to shooting video is real fast with flash drive. No tapes or power up needed.
-Advanced features: 3 seconds advance video, face recognition focus
Cons
-Software - as others have noted, rather complex and takes many attempts to future out. Manual provided rather weak.
-Camera controls - numerous menus to get used to - challenging yet offers the flexibility (practice and practice)
-You are provided with component cables, yet lacking the HDMI HTC-100 cable. Suggest to buy from Amazon at same time. $40
I-mage Stabilization does not help much. You will be carrying a tri-pod!
Bottom line: If you are a bit more experienced / technical, then you will enjoy this model. Else, it's a bit rich in functionality and you should consider an simple model.
