As a new customer I feel this camcorder would be an excellent beginners recorder. It has everything to get started without paying alot of money. For a novice this would be an excellant beginning.

this is a nice small unit. it's really easy to use. video quality is pretty good for a $100 camera. there aren't a lot of top of the line features, but if you are looking for easy images at a low cost it's hard to beat.
