I'll start by saying thanks Play, I ordered it on Tues evening, posted on Wed morning and arrived on the friday, great service. Well the camera has been tested at the beach today and the quality of the video footage is really very good. I can't fault the HD quality and the photo image is better than my 7.1 mgp stand alone camera. Its light weight and easy to use, it looks and feels good the only downside is the naf lens cap but I can live with that. I also found it to be very easy to download the footage onto my pc, I just plugged it in with the usb lead provided and wam, it was done. Overall 9/10 I would give it a 10 if the optical zoom was better. If you're looking for a cheap good quality camera/camcorder for your hols then, I STRONGLY SUGGEST BUYING THIS ONE.
