(More customer reviews)I just recieved this camcorder a few days ago. For the most part I'm impressed but am disapointed in a few areas.
(1) there IS a place to attach an external microphone but then where are you to put it, I mean there is no way to attach it to the camera body because it doesn't come with a foot, so I will have to order an arm mount that stems from where the tripod hooks on but will allow me to still put the camera on the tripod. The external mic will have to be set on the side of the camera instead of on top. This is the one I will be ordering: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00008KWXC/ref=ord_cart_shr?ie=UTF8&m=A1729W3053T57N
(2)the battery life is pretty short. I was fiddling with my camera fully charged and it ran out out juice in just about an hour so I'm currently looking into seeing if they have a 2 or 3 hour battery or something. I mean, if I'm out in the woods for the day taping, I don't want to have to bring 3 or 4 battery packs with me with everything else I have to carry.
On the UP side, I really like the size and many of it's features. The zoom and tele-macro appear pretty decent for such a small camcorder. So far, so good but haven't taken it out in the field yet...need more battery power before I can do that since trees here in Maine don't have much electrical current running through them to run the adapter off any given branch I might be sitting by at the time of filming :-}
I haven't tried loading anything up on the internet yet either so we shall see how that all works out. Will keep you posted as I learn more about this product. thanks. It sure is a cute little thing.
