Strengths: Least expensive miniDV camcorder I could find, good picture, light weight, east to use, tape eject on the side instead of on the bottom so you don't have to take it off the tripod to change tapes
Weakness: NO PC CONNECTION CABLES INCLUDED, no memory card for digital still pictures

Lasted me 3 years
Strengths: Takes a decent picture, has some nice effects, and good manual control
