pic and sound are good, with adapter you can play tape on any VCRs. pretty light in my view, i can easily operate with one hand, battery life is 1.5 hour, compatible batteries can provide better number.

only has black & white viewfinder, no LCD, but for this low price, i can live with it.

overall, good cam for first time or entry level user who just want to record some family moments and share it, for that purpose this is a good choice.
