UX7-Great video, bad DVD life

Strengths: HD format is great, flash is very bright (more than a point and shoot camera). Takes great pictures. Takes great video

Weakness: DVD only lasts 9.26 minutes on a 15 minute formated DVD. Low light indoor video is granular even in decent conditions. filters keep the flash from performing.

Best High Def Camera

Strengths: Incredible, Clear Picture, Ease of Use, Quality Construction, Best Value.

Everyone complains about the 15 minute recording time in full High Def but I don't think that is a problem. If you think aboit it, how boring are home movies anyway! Short scenes,...
