USB and Firewire ports; Multiple Add-ons; very light camera; MiniDV format; approximately 70 still pictures with standard 8MB MultiMediaCard; ability to do dubbing after taping;

Pictures are only 640x480 x16 million colors. Color depth is good, but the size is not

Overall an excellent value. Spend the money and get the model 535 battery - 9 hours of battery life is better than the standard 1.5 hours. Video quality is excellent but the still photographs need a flash or a bright light (sunny day outside) to come out crisp. Indoor lighting doesn''t always work good enough.

Customer Service
