I bought one of these a little over a year ago and am very happy with it so far. The video and sound quality is usually great and I never even bothered to put on the little things that limit electrical interference. My only regret is not getting the 60 gig because I use mine a lot and the space would be helpful.
Pros:
-tends to have very good video/ sound quality (I've had one or two times it was only avg or good)
-good software comes with it to convert file types
-easy to use
-the new version of windows media player supports the save format on the camera without having to convert it
Cons:
-videos take up a lot of space, especially when not converted. 5 minutes is about 100-150 megabytes. You can convert formats and change settings to limit space, but it can diminish the quality.
-battery seems to die quickly on mine.
--edit--
amazon won't let me change it, but I lower this to 4 stars now because the camera performs poorly in dark lighting (focus beomes a disaster)and when you convert to another file type, either the quality becomes extremely poor or you save quality but the file size goes up 4-6x it's already huge size (yes you have to convert because nothing plays the extension used). I haven't found one, but if there is an mod media player out there you may want to look into it.
