Main Product Features:

The first feature within this digital camcorder that users will enjoy is the fact that it is so lightweight.

With the overall size of this digital camcorder being less than 7.5-inches long, and under 6-inches both in height and width, you will have an ultra compact and portable digital camcorder.

With a total optical zoom of 34x, you will be able to accurately zoom into any object, no matter how far away it is. However, it is when you move into the digital zoom where you are able to capture images that are extremely far away. You will be able to utilize a total of 1200x digital zoom, which is much higher than nearly every other digital camcorder on the market.

With the advanced Digital Image Stabilizer, you will never have to worry about your videos being shaky. This is a great feature to have when you are following a fast-moving object, or when using the optical/digital zoom. The Still Shot Mode let this digital camcorder act like a digital camera, providing you with extremely detailed still-pictures.

The only downside to this digital camcorder is its battery life. You can expect the battery to last for an average of 2 hours of straight shooting time. While this is not great, there are several other digital camcorders with much worse battery longevity.
