I bought this unit as well. I feel like the picture is much better outside in natural light, which I guess is true with most cameras. Question for you, have you found a way to get rid of the display icons when you are playing this on a television? I might burn these clips in real time to a DVD burner I have and I don't want the display icons showing. Please e-mail an answer to: sdavid@bachelorcreek.com Thanks
