Total score ?
(maximal 570)		293 
Pros + manual controls for shutter and aperture
+ factory setting adjustable
 
Cons - somewhat blurred compared with other HD video
 
Conclusion This cam shines with unusual (in this price category) manual controls and smart automatic modes and a touchscreen.But the small 1 chip sensor limits the picture quality too much.
