Total score ?
(maximal 570)		320
Pros + Acceptable wide-angle
+ Good lowlight characteristics
Cons - No FullHD
-3CCDs with pixelshif do not result in full sharpness
- MiniDVD
Conclusion The MiniDVD as a recording medium does not strike us as particularly useful for HD , so the similar model SD1 is much more interesting.
