    5 of 5 What a CAMCORDER !!! Tuesday, September 25, 2007
    Bill M from Watertown, Wi  
    If you want the latest in video or just a easy to use camcorder, Buy this one. Hard drive, DVD, as well as SD card for still pics. Get rid of your digital cameras and get one of these... After a couple uses I found out what they mean by "HYBRED"

    5 of 5 Awesome camera! Wednesday, June 06, 2007
    Chris from Torrance, California  
    I have had the camera for a little over a week. I have shot a full hard drive of video and put it on my computer and have been messing around with editing it for a project. The fact that I can get that much video without wasting non-reusable media is fantastic. I also bought a Hitachi bag with a spare battery. Both purchases have turned out to be wonderful. Buy.com came through yet again!
