Pros: This is my second HD camcorder the other one was the Sony HDR-HC1 and it is the best camcorder I have ever owned. It also took a 4 foot drop to a hard floor picked up a ding but is still working great.
Cons: Included software is a joke. Unintuitive user interface. Terrible.
To be fair, it will do what it says it will do which is allow you to backup your videos to your computer.
I would have given it 5 eggs but the software needs improvement.
