Mine is just a simple 10 Mega Pixels with web camera feature. But it also has a feature where you can edit the videos clearness and how good it looks while taking the video or picture. But, over all it is very good, it does have that Mini Screen to see everything. But batterys are Hydride batterys, which is pretty cool too, cuz I can recharge them with a charge I got for free.

Depending on your camera use and conditions, it can sometimes be very difficult to get good sound quality from just the built in mic. Chris,

My camcorder can record on either a Hi-8 Cassette or a Memory Stick/ (pro) card. I also have a battery simalar to Chris's but it's slightly smaller and when I press a button on the battery it tells me how much is left. If it wasn't for my camcorder I wouldne have hardly any uploaded videos on YouTube because I use it's analog-to-digital converter feature on it which is exactley what I wanted because I wanted to copy some of my old home movies I made on my Dad's ancient XD Panasonic camcorder from 1996 that records on VHSC tapes (mini VHS tapes) which is now broken and no longer records which was another reason why I got my camcorder.

Also, I suggest NOT buying the Firewire cable at the store you get your camera; retailers mark it up hugely. I bought mine at Circuit City and the 6 foot FW cable was $30! At a local wholesale electronics store the same cable is less than $10, and I can get a longer one for half what CC was charging. All true.
