GR-D395 mini DV

Strengths: Battery life,easy menus and settings, large auto and manual button

Weakness: acess to USB and DV port, No wirewire with the pack,

Good one for this price. Compared to Elura100 the features are almost the same. Better in night shots with light. The access to the menu and play/forward buttons are inside, we have to use both hands in operating the camera some times. during day light shooting the picture clarity is excellent. Powerfull zoom (32 x), I would recommend a tripod when using max zoom.
