good camcorder for its price and also I will...

Strengths: light, better than few in similar price range I had 3 privosly

Weakness: battery life is always a problem with all the camcorders and it is same with it

will recommend if you cannot spend more money but I will surely suggest if you can spend something around 600 dollars than you should go for a better camcorder either from sony or canon or any other company
