Everything worked fine. The video quality wasn't quite as good as I was expecting, but given the price it was still better quality than my current SD camera. I didn't like that the composite and HDMI output shuts off while you're recording. I typically like to use a 10" portable DVD player as a monitor so I can follow the action better. Not a show stopper for most, but for me it was annoying. Took it to tape my son's playoff game and it died in the middle of the second quarter and scrambled everything on the memory card. This wasn't an issue with power, or with the memory card being full or anything like that. The camera screen was still on, but not displaying a picture. The indicator was still blinking slowly like it was when it was recording normally, and I was stopping and restarting the recording between quarters. So individual files for a quarter were only around 1GB. This was some kind of major malfunction. Very ticked off. Returning it today. Purchased it yesterday, tested it for about 2 hours.
