Summary: editing issues
Comment: this camera is cool, but it is very difficult to take the mini dvd and copy the files onto my computer to use in an editing program. i think this camera is a waste of money, editing movies is what makes them look good, especially if you're shooting surfing or any other sport.

Summary: Great camera IF you have no interest in editing your videos...
Comment: This camera is a lot of fun to use, it has Great quality (low-end professional), lots of features (widescreen mode, black & white, faders etc), it was very easy to use especially with the touchscreen lcd. I did find one big issue with the functioning of this camera, when you play back the video you can actually hear the sound of the dvd spinning in the camera, pretty hard to overlook or try to tune out.

Then, after hours of toying around with this camera I became extremely disappointed. Editing with this camera is virtually impossible. The software that it comes with (nero 6) only allows you to burn the small dvd onto a regular dvd. In order to attempt to edit I had to burn the small dvd onto a cd as data, then I had to open the cd folder and drag the contents to the desktop, then I had to download a converter to change the formats from vob to mpeg and then the converted file wouldn't even drag onto the desktop. After hours of all the complicated nonsense I have decided to return this camera and purchase the Sony DCR-HC46 mini dv camcorder. This one has the same if not better quality as the dvd105, but will be better for editing, then if I ever want the film on dvd i can just burn it onto a regular sized dvd since i'll actually be able to get the videos on the computer with this one.

But of course if you are a point > shoot > play sort of person this camera will be great for you.
