Summary: When you look at the pros and cons you realize that this camera is the best. Despite having only 8 Gb of internal memory, you can always buy a memory card, especially since you can get this camera for a very cheap price from B&H currently.
The design is so sleek and nice, and it is such a good size, that it makes filimng effortless. The UI is very friendly and pretty, especially with the touch screen.
I do a sport called Martial Arts Tricking, and this camera is absolutely perfect for it.
Great camera.
