I know it is a good DV. From some Chinese and Japanese review (The product launch 2 months earlier there), I know for 1080i it is a joke, but for 720P, it is a serious product. I have not bought it yet, but I like the design and the idea combine DC DV 2 in 1. My question: is it a good enought DC? Is the flash powerful enough? Is the photo quality good enough compare to e. g. Panasonic or Canon similar product with 10X zoom, and 1/2. 5″ sensor?

I wish the ratings went all the way to negative 5 for this one. The darn thing takes poor images in low light situations.

I’ve waited months for the camera to arrive and was thrilled to use it for the first time. . until I took the SD card and loaded it up on my MacPro. . . only to find out that although Sanyo uses MPEG4 AVC/H. 264 as the basis for this camera, it doesn’t work with the currently shipping version of Quicktime! Ug. . So I have a black brick that’s useless. And I really dont want to wait for Apple to rev Quicktime. I think Amazon’s getting a return.

On paper it looks like a great hybred cam and camcorder. It takes very good stills but it has a problem with video. The video is not as good as other HD camcorders. A main problem is the MP-4 recording system. It is not compatable with many editing programs. The bundled software requires a serial number that is difficult to find. I have not found it yet. Advise to wait for a improved model.
