5 of 5 Great product! Saturday, December 20, 2008
A Customer from Seattle, WA  

After a lot of comparing specs, prices, etc. I finally decided to go with this camcorder (Consumer Reports helped me make the final decision) and I couldn't be happier. I won't rewrite what so many other users have said but I'll co-sign their satisfaction. With this HD camcorder you'll get your monies worth and then some! Thank you Canon for making a great product, and thank you Black Friday for allowing me to purchase it at half price!
