General Comments
I bought this camera 2 years ago, and have been using it quite a lot since, and I must say, it's a very good camcorder.
I have made many trips with it, and I'm the kind of guy that uses his camcorder in almost every situation possible. I have filmed quite a lot on skis, shooting my friends jumping or skiing, sometimes at quite high speeds, and never had any problem while shooting in cold weather (even VERY cold...). The stabilization may not be perfect, so I use a home made steadycam system, and I have added a widelens to enable a wider view.
I am very happy with this product, but now I think I will try 3 CCD.
I do a lot of editing using Premiere Pro 1.5 with tapes shot with this cam, and the result is very good when you know how to touch up an image.
