Advantages: A good primer into process metaphysics. Disadvantages: Not for the casual reader.
Before beginning my review of 'Process Metaphysics: An Introduction to Process Philosophy' by Nicholas Rescher, a brief note of explanation is in order, about what Process Theology is, who Whitehead is, and what my interest in it is.
Let us start with personalities. Alfred North Whitehead was a teacher and mathematician. A protege of Bertrand Russell, he participated in the creation of Russell's great 'Principia Mathematica'. In 1924, at the age of 63, he became a Harvard professor (at the time most people would be thinking about retirement). Most of his purely philosophical work was done later in his life. Whitehead was greatly interested in metaphysics, crafting a master work entitled 'Process and Reality', which underwent constant revisions (hence, people talk about early Whitehead and late Whitehead.

Advantages: All in one and very versatile. Good sound given a quality source Disadvantages: Fiddly set-up. All menu driven, so a bit tricky to navigate too.

Having been stuck with a busted camcorder on the morning on an important family visit, I dashed to a major electrical store to source a replacement, stumbled across this camera, researched the others on display and chose the S26 for ease of use, merit for the make (I bought Lumix TZ5 and have been really pleased with it, quality, capabilities etc, great lens) and general feel for the camera. in my opinion, X70 zoom works very well, resolution excellent for an "older" user and their "junior" assistants. I think that Transfer speed is not rapid, but "so what" in a camera at this price point. Very happy to recommend for general everyday trouble free use. BUT buy it on line for £60 less than the big stores and be even more satisfied that I am
