General Comments
This camcorder is great. It has lots of features which allow you to fade different scenes into each other - all technical stuff which I haven't tried yet.
It comes with the software for your p.c., battery, charger and cable, cables to connect to t.v. - apparently this is rare as these things usually cost extra. I bought mine from a well-known high street electrical store who had a special offer on and the camera had been reduced by £140 even though it is a current model. For an extra £30 I got a pack of 5 tapes and a bag. When buying a digital camcorder (if you do not choose this one) make sure you ask if it comes with a battery and charger, software for your p.c., cables for your p.c. and tapes as most companies are charging extra for all of these and this can really add a lot to the overall price. This camera is exclusive to that particular high street store and you may not see it on the internet shopping sites.
