The Pros:Huge capacity--120GB built-in hard drive with Memory Stick Duo Pro expansion. Records audio in 5.1 surround, which sound great--clear and loud. Dedicated photo button lets you switch to still image taking very easily.

The Cons:Low light quality is subpar--very grainy. Autofocus performance is a bit slow--struggles to find a focus point. Touchscreen is a bit of a hindrance--makes you have to stumble through menus and submenus for nearly everything.
