The good: Superior image quality for a single-chip, MPEG-2 camcorder; decent still photos; hotshoe for a light or a microphone; fluid and fast focus.
The bad: Too dependent on its touch-screen interface; small LCD.
The bottom line: The Sony Handycam DCR-SR100E is a solid hard-drive-based option, especially if you like Sony's touch-screen interfaces.
