When I bought this camera, I was looking for a device that would take good video and good still shots.
The video is great but most of the daylight still shots are outlined with black dots.
The night still shots usually turn out blurry or the images are outlined with dots.
JVC Everio GZ-MS120 (black)
The JVC Everio GZ-MS120 is a nice little flash-memory-based standard-definition camcorder.
