"I've just purchased this camera for a trip to Alaska I am taking in July 09'. So far I like it very much. One problem is that the disk may not be compatible with older DVD players. You must finalize the disk ALWAYS before you play it in a laptop or desktop computer. I am hoping to download all movies and photos to an external hard drive in my hotel room, and then reformat the media to use again the next day. I like the idea of two media in the camera in case you run out of room on the disk; you can switch to the memory stick. Have to get the higher power battery to have longer usability. Messing around with disks while out may be an issue as well. In all, I think I will like this camera." "I've just purchased this camera for a trip to Alaska I am taking in July 09'.
