THE GOOD
Lightweight and compact; fits well in the hand; well-placed controls; quality snapshots; autofocus-assist lamp for shooting photos in dim light.

THE BAD
Clumsy manual focus; short battery life; limited manual control; no infrared night mode; poorly placed microphone; no accessory shoe.

THE BOTTOM LINE
The slick, compact Optura 300 is an excellent choice for picky shooters who want a solid vacation camcorder without the excess baggage.

    2.5/5
    I would recommend the Sony DCR-PC1000 smaller & 3 CCD better low light. If your looking for a mini dv cam but i would recommend a hard drive camcorder like the JVC GZ-MC500
