I bought this camera especialy for flying on my paraglider (as my DSLR's are too big and heavy).
It took some time to get used to the strange power on/off button behaviour, but now I can control it pretty good by single hand operation during the flight.
It also has special flight scene mode which gives good results from PG.
Very good value for the money.
Problems
- It is not possible to delete images/videos from the camera by the computer while connected (I cannot understand why).
- With AVCHD lite option selected it creates BlueRay disk directory structure on the card which is pretty difficult and confusing
- The video lenght is limited to 15 minutes independently of the card capacity (I think there exists some tax or customs reason).
