Price under $400, which is really a low price camcorder, including 30x zoom. 35mm wide angle.
Weight is light enough and portable (about 210g-240g with/without battery).
Full HD quality, Dual-cam, SDHC memory storage - which is a bit cheaper while comparing with Compact Flash.
Support H.264 codec who is great because easier to manadge than AVCHD-Lite.
However, be careful that youhave a computer powerful enough to playback the Full-HD 60i (1920x1080 60fps) video ... Could get laggy screen. pity ...
That's why record as Full HD 30p (1920x1080 30fps) is a good starting point.

Don't expect too much from Stabilizer !
Due to this camcorder is using digital stabilizer, do not expect too much on the image stabilizing.
What I suggest is to turn it off and use other mechanic stabilizer !
