The ease of use, the simple menu controls, and the large viewing screen make this a very tempting homepro-con device. If DVD is the goal, you won't find it hard to integrate into the Mac OSX or WinXP environments. Nightvision is ample, but with the Intelligent Mount, the range of adapters for expanding the IR light field is cheap and easy. Additionally, there are many products available for adding regular quartz lights as well. After testing this unit against several others in the current market 102003, I found this device to be the best all around. BUT! And all products get a BUT! The quality of the still pictures is not very good. I mean it's good enough to post to the web for grandma to see, but the still images aren't much for the discerning eye.
