... I bought this camera after a lot of research into HD camcorders. My personal requirements for the camcorder were:
1. Should take excellent high defition videos
2. Should take good still pictures
3. Should be below 500 dollars
All camera's in the market failed my criteria one way or the other. Some were expensive, Some took terrible stills while others could were just downright pathetic. I looked real hard at samsung-hmx10c for a while but just as i was about to pull the trigger, it went out of stock. So finally i settled on this little gadget from sanyo.
So now the camera has been with me for the last two months so here goes my experience with it:
Pro's:
1. The camera takes absolutely stunning videos. The video is so crisp that you shall be amazed.
2. Excellent low light performance meaning beautiful videos indoors. The camera is rated to be the best indoor performer due to its very large image sensor.
3. Excellent still pictures outside in good light and reasonable still pictures inside in low light.
4. At $430 it is the cheapest HD camcorder available in the market. The only camera which takes both excellent videos as well as pictures is canon hfs dual shot and it retails for 1200 dollars!!!!
So now for the Con's:
1. The camera Image stabilization is absolutely crap meaning you can totally forget about the zoom function because even at moderate zooms the video shakes uncontrollably. This problem also makes it impossible to "walk and record" because the video becomes very very jerky. The problem is so very obvious that even my tech-o-phobe wife was yesterday complaining about it.
2. Slow Auto Focus. ...

... Love the camera, but VERY unhappy with the carrying bag leaving black smudges all over it. Smudges that won't come off. This is the bag that it came with too. Get the camera, but use a different carrying bag. ...

... When I was first looking for a new camcorder, I was really trying my hardest to stay away from Sony. They are not my favorite company but boy do they make some good products.
After receiving my Sony Webbie I was pleasantly surprised how comfortable a camera this small fit in my hand. Besides the lack of a hand strap (which is replaced by a wrist strap) the Webbie was very comfortable.
Ease of use is a huge deal breaker for me, if it is hard to use I don't like it and won't use it, but that is not the case with the Webbie. All you do is open it up and it's instantly on. No complicated switching between settings and so on and so forth. It probably wouldn't be good for filming movies or anything crazy involved like that, but for home videos, this camera is more than what I needed, and I'm happy.
I read a lot a review about this camera before buying it, and I was a lot of complaints about the picture quality. I would have to say I disagree. This camcorder records in full 1080, and looks fantastic. I personally don't need to film anything in full 1080, so I stick with the 720 setting, but its great to have that option..
I also read about sound quality, but I have had no issues with that either.
All in all, this is a great camcorder for personal use. You won't be disappointed... ...

... Good points:
-- Low price.
-- Easy to use.
-- Pretty good picture quality overall, but tends to overexpose in very bright sunlight, such as around a swimming pool.
-- Nice set of mounting accessories.
-- Works well underwater.
Bad Points:
-- Hard to tell where the camera is pointing due to lack of viewfinder. Best approach is to sight along the top of barrel.
-- Sound is terrible unless camera is underwater, although others have suggested this can be cured by removing the waterproof membrane over the microphone. Of course, then it's no longer waterproof. ...

... Bought the Flip to take on vacation to South Africa. Have been using it to "practice" my skills, but no real skill needed. It is very easy to learn and use. I've taken videos from a moving car, boat, walking and just filming action with my Flip. The quality of video when played back on 27 inch TV are fantastic! This is one of the best purchase I've made in years.
Picture quality is reduced when using the zoom, so just don't use it! ...
