The ejection door for the mini tape seems less "mechanical" so fewer things to go wrong. This camcorder is very easy to use. you are able to take decent pictures while taping video and it does not interfere with the video. Some people complain about "motor sounds". I don't here it, even in my kid's room at night when it is silent. At low light, the colors are not all that great, kind of surprised. At night the "night shot" is terrible. I would recommend getting the attached light for $60.00. The things I like: Size. ease of use. Zoom works fast and decent. Focusing is fast and accurate. When you turn the camera on, it is ready in about 2 seconds. When it is on and you hit record, it is ready in about half a second(fast). In decent lighting, takes pretty good pictures, I was surprised. The things I don't like. A lot of these camcorders don't have lense caps or covers that are permanent? They snap on and off, hang from a strap. I don't have really big hands, but my fingers are too big for the buttons, or should I say that the buttons are very small. As I mentioned, the low light use is not too good, make sure the room is bright. Comes wit a 8 mb card with some stupid graphics on it (I erased it all). No mike input. No light? All in all, for the price (when on sale) I highly recommend this camera. Now that I have used it for a while, for a little more money, I probably would have bought the model (Elura80?) with the light. Like buying a pair of shoes, try several different camcorders, "feel" them at the store. you will see big differences. Enjoy!
