Total score ?
(maximal 570)		293 
Pros + manual controls for shutter and aperture
+ factory setting adjustable
+ Many manual controls
+ Adjustable ISO modi
+ USB memory stick can be connected directly for archiving purposes
Cons - somewhat blurred compared with other HD video
- Automatic mode
- Image stabilisation
- vertical resolution in 60i mode
- handling
- wide angle
- 60Hz modi only
Conclusion Handlingwise no other mini-cam is up to par with the Panasonic SD10.Others functions like the distortionless lens or the optical image stabilizer are realised well.Apart from its somwhat low image sharpness we think this camera is well done for its price.
