What can I say, I really messed up with the purchase of the Canon MV5iMC but I learned a valuable lesson. Don't read reviews on the internet and believe them. Better go and try for yourself whether in the shop or a friends who bought it first. Something that might be good for some won't necessary do for others.
So where to start, the Canon MV5iMC DV camcorder is not a bad package for shooting family and friends and it will probably be a lot better quality than your mobile phones, but the editing takes x10 longer for a x10 times optical zoom camera. The software they give you is also amateur stuff that will get you going easy and that's about it. It comes with a lot of extras such as pouch, UK + Euro power cable, usb cable (no firewire), SCART plug, 3in1 cable, S video cable, and a 8MB SD card. I'm not counting the remote control, software, grip strap and other stuff that should be in the package.
I used this camera a lot the first few months until I got bored and found that I could never use the original sound recorder from the camcorder because it was that bad. Most of my videos ended up with a music track on top. Quality wise the Canon lense is more than capable to capture and bring the best out of a sun light shot, but during night time I might as well leave it at home. At first I liked the size but afterwards I found it very hard to held it comfortable without shaking.
Overall I say don't ever have the pleasure to own this equipment.
