Really disappointed because I loved this camcorder. The quality of the video was good and I was particularly impressed by the active wind noise suppression. However, taking still photographs was a significant part of how I wanted to use the camera and it seems to have a fault that the brighter the lighting, the darker the photograph got. Indoor photographs were okay but see the example above - that's a fence panel on a bright, sunny day with the sun behind me.I returned the camcorder to Amazon for a replacement and found that the second camcorder had the same fault (only three difference in the serial numbers) so I returned that to Amazon for a refund.I hate returning things, it's the last thing I wanted to do, let alone do it twice. But I have to offer my appreciation to Amazon for making the process as easy and straightforward as possible.
