Released February, 2009
The Pros:Image stabilization is very strong, covers handshake while standing or skydiving. Easy to use, controls are well laid out and intuitive. Microphone is fairly good at capturing audio from the subject and filtering out the rest.
The Cons:Picture gets grainy and very dark in low light conditions.
