The Pros:Software makes it easy to burn your video directly to a DVD. Video is in high definition and looks great on a large screen. Uses regular HDMI output making it easy to screen footage.
The Cons:AVCHD format is hard to edit, most software doesn't support it. Low light recording is weak, looks very grainy. Image stabilization is always poor, need to try to keep the camera steady.
