I love the new JVC Everio S GZ-MS100 Flash Memory Camcorder it has 35x Optical Zoom. You can zoom it will not Blur when Zoom with 35 Optical Zoom.at all. It recorded to SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) cards is the most in camera and camcorder for recorded you videos and Photos. You can use this camcorder to recorded for your YouTube with One Touch Upload to YouTube button on the camcorder. This camcorder has Laser Touch Operation and One Touch Direct DVD button. The two Cons are videos format .MOD and with no Software to edit videos. You can not use Roxio Easy Media Creator 10 to edit the videos. I find one Software that with work with format .MOD that is CyberLink PowerDirector 7
