 Great Camera - Suggestion for software March 3, 2010
R. Osborne (Epsom - UK)
VERY pleased with the camera but as much of virtues have been extolled elseware I will concentrate on software. The included Pixela software is rubbish and does not merit inclusion on your hard disk. After much searhing I have at last found good use for my Nero-9. It works magnificently.
1. copy your camcorder files (they have a .MTs extension)from your SD memory on to your hard disc.
2. In Nero, in 'Create and Edit' select the 'Author, Edit and Capture Video' option and from there, select 'Make Movie' option. Import your file into the 'My Media Files' box. If you want to join several of you camcorder files into ONE whole movie then select them all into 'My media files in the correct order.
3. Highlight each required in the reverse order and click the '+' button to place it into lower strip. Then click 'Next'.
4. Now select 'Export Movie' and now you can select which standard (MPEG-2, AVI etc) which you require.
5. Also click 'Configure' to select the other characteristics of the file that you require.
I wanted an MPEG-2 file so I chose the following 'Custom' Options.
a) Aspect Ratio - 16:9
b) Size - User Defined - Width 1920 Height - 1072
c) Video Quality - Maximum
d) Encoder quality fine tuning - 100
e) Audio Format - LPCM
I arrived at these values by quite a bit of experimentation but try finding your own preferences.
Now click 'OK' and then remember to click 'browse' and choose your prefered folder and file name for the resulting file. Finally click' Export.
I got a file about 1% larger than the original and as far as I could estimate, the quality
was as good as the original. I was HIGHLY delighted with Nero. I hope these suggestions help others.
Love it! March 1, 2010

It works really great, but is a little grainy in low light, so I just purchesed the bigger light. It takes really good pictures and flash works good too! Very happy with battery life, have not needed my back up battery the last 10 times I used it.
 Watch for low light! February 27, 2010

I read all the reviews for this camera before getting one and I just wanted to confirm that the relatively bad image quality with low light is ABSOLUTELY TRUE.
I wouldn't say that it's horrible, but I compared the quality with a movie taken with my very cheap Flip Mineo (the old basic model, not the HD) and it was pretty much the same. I don't know if competitor cameras at the same price point have the same problem though (I checked the specs for sensor, aperture and all that and they seemed equal or worse to this one) but it's definitely not something that I would consider HD.
Everything else is pretty good.
Great camera but very limited-hidden costs February 24, 2010

First I would say that the camera itself is excellent. However, there is one major downside to it and that is that the software that comes with it is absolutely horrible and cannot be used. Read the other reviews on the software topic and see for yourself. In fact, the manual doesn't even tell you how to upload the videos-I figured it out from reading reviews here on Amazon. The only way around the limited software is to buy another software editing program which has an added cost. Keep that in mind when you compare cost and features of other HD Camcorders. If you ever plan to edit video or put your videos on a DVD, which I would say includes about 99.9% of users, then don't buy this camera unless you meet all 3 of the following criteria: you have some other editing software, you are certain it will work with the MTS file format that this camera uses and you want to constantly tinker with settings and software to get this to come out in HD.
1080i output. Cable wrong. Software not good February 23, 2010

Overall it is a good camcorder. The weight is light, and the size is small, no lens cap hanging around. I shot more then 1 hour, some in house, some in an auditorium with only stage light on. The video looks good.
But there are some dissatisfactions.
1. This camcorder is 1080i output, which is not stated clearly on Amazon website (it just mentions 1080)
2. The USB cable in the BOX is not the right cable. It can not be plugged in to the camcorder. Since I can use SD card reader to copy files from the SD card to my computer, I won't bother to ask customer service to replace the cable.
3. The video file is mts file. The software don't support converting mts to avi or mpeg so I could not burn a DVD. When I put a DVD+R disk to my DVD burner, the software prompts don't support disk format. It might only burn blue-ray disk (I didn't try since I only got DVD burner).
4. One disk can not be installed on my 64 bit xp, saying something like "environment is not right".
