I am very happy with the GS80 mini DV. I bought it to hold me over until HD comes down in price. The image quality is actually pretty decent. Very simple to use, advanced stuff is hidden away so unlikely to miss a shot because you hit the wrong button.
Connecting it to my XP computer it was automatically recognized and was ready to go. I really don't care for any special editing of my own videos so record them directly to my Ilco DVD recorder to make the DVD's.
This is a great unit of someone who wants a unit to take on vacation, but not cost as much as the vacation you intend to record. It is far better than the analog units, the tapes are small and the battery lasts about as long as the tape.
