Yeah! I highly recommend this camera as a videoblogging or casual-use sort of camera. While it doesn't have the quality sensor or image stabilization of a camera 3 times its price...well....those cameras cost 3x as much for a reason!

It stores an hour of footage, and charges via USB. So far, I just love it!

Thanks! The main issue is the lack of stabilization. If you've got a steady hand or plan to use a small tripod or set it on something, then you're good to go.

Other than that, it has no real shortcomings that you wouldn't expect from a budget, consumer camera. That is, no optical zoom and no iris/white-balance options.

I totally hear you on that one. I've got the Ultra and I've also got an HV30, so im really looking for something a little better than my Ultra to take with me for quick vids. I'm extremely impressed with the camera.

The biggest difference I see between the two is its color sensor. Then again, nothing a little FCS Color can't fix, right? haha.
