Yeah; I played with it; pretty good; very good colours ones you hook up to DLP TV. That's definitely my next purchase in near future. Very handy; very nice zoom. You can take photos @ 1024 I think; they are okay, nothing crazy. You can also use regular DV tapes; although they last about 30 mins; but quality is the same as on the so called DV HD tapes. If you need a camera; I know its price'y but definetly way to go to record personal video!!! If you have more detailed questions let me know.
