The number of pixels is sufficient, but given the size of
the CCD, it is likely low-light ability will suffer due to
the small size of the pixels. The quality of the image
also depends on the quality of the optics and the signal
processing, so it is hard to predict from specs what
you will find when you use the camcorder. It is likely
to be adequate for non-critical home use, though...
