Its great for an advance user, but the small and tricky menu is kinda large for the novice user. With settings a go for a simple john, you then have a 5 to 8 min wait from loading the dvd to actually recording on it. Although there is ways around this, through the menu options of course, you have to know your dvd r- dvd r/w language and pixle vrs frame rate per sec ying yang to get it going fast. Overall for an advance user this quite possibly a 10 but for a first timmer its around a 4. Quality pictures and excellent voice, timming, frame rate and transfer from cam to dvd player is just awesome.....
