On the advice of someone at BestBuy, I bought this camera / camcorder (Canon FS300).

Testing the photos in sunlight and shade, outdoors:

And indoors:

OK. … But poor focus, it seems. … It’s still on all default settings.

Indoor video seems lousy. Artifacts. … Not as bad as the FLIP, though.

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

Underwhelmed …

There might be a 15% restocking fee on $300 if I return it. … And what camera / camcorder will be better?
