Pros:
* High resolution image
* Built in software makes it easy to transfer images to your PC.
* Fast boot-up time. You won't miss anything.
Cons:
* It is not easy to stabilize the image while recording.
* There are so much cutting in the video if there is to much motion in the scene.
* If you have a USB port which is at a bad angle on your computer, the solid USB output of the camera is hard to fit. It would have been nicer if it was a soft cable.
* I was trying to playback a video I have recorded and show a certain time to my friends but the fast forward is not really fast. Also you have to hold the right button to fast forward and if your finger just slips a little it will skip to the next video and you have to come back and start fast forwarding from the beginning. Bad firmware design in that sense. It took me 5mins to show it. I could have just played back without fast forwarding.
* It only has mini HDMI video output port. Now I need to buy a mini HDMI cable to connect directly to my TV. I had regular HDMI before.
* The battery life is pretty short.
* The lens glass is very fragile. Mine broke in the first day of usage. It was inside its soft fabric case, and accidentally it touch my pocket where I had my cell phone in. Voila, it is broken. These little glass is not replaceable which I am having a hard time understanding because it is just a simple glass glued in front of the lens. The customer support is not helpful and not understanding.
Overall, I am not completely happy with the product. 200 is a lot of money and what you get is not giving you the feeling of a durable material. Looks like the cheapest materials used and glued together. I would say their encoder needs a little more work in terms of picture quality. Their firmware is good enough except it needs some enhancements such as easier navigating and faster fast forwards and rewinds. Their customer support is not very helpful.
