I've been looking into specs and I found that the previous version of this camera had threads for filters/lenses but it was inexplicably eliminated on this camera. Oh well. Fireworks only happen once a year and I haven't done video the past two years anyway, so that's definitely a non-issue.
Been looking at other models and liking their specs. It's tempting to think about changing course and returning this one to spend more for better specs, but the truth is this camera appears to be a screaming deal for the money. I'd have to spend nearly five times as much to get better specs that would actually make a difference.
I'm kind of thinking I did OK. It will absolutely be much better than my previous camcorder.
