I am currently looking to upgrade my camcoder to one that is waterproof and came across this site with the reviews of my current MV5i MC.
I am astonished to find that quite a lot of reviewers consider it to be rubbish.
I have had mine now for about 4 years and have always been in awe of the absolute sharpness of the picture, the excellent microphone and the inclusion of a reasonably good quality stills camera.
This will continue to be my main general purpose camcorder used for capturing all our 'once in a lifetime' holiday videos. I would not even consider another replacement camera for this.
As for size it sits comfortably in your hand with your fingers and thumb falling quite naturally onto the buttons used most regularly.
Well done canon, I still think that this Mini DV tape recorder is a winner over SD technology.

I find that I get more use from my Canon MV51 MC digital camcorder than any other camera that I have owned. Used indoors, it is fine so long as you remember to check the white balance. The 10 times optical zoom is good. It has the advantage of being small, so it is unobtrusive. I actually was able to use it in some of the tombs in Egypt without getting thrown out. I have owned it now for about 4 years.
