How is the photo quality of the camera? Seems like most Camera's that take HD video's have really low photo quality...if you could let me know would be great.
@AnomalyDrake - Photo quality for this camera is very good. It does have significant grain in low light, due to the small chip, but even its low-light performance is better than most other point and shoots. Focussing and shutter lag are extremely fast.
Other P&S cameras that I believe have better photo quality are the Canon G10 and Lumix TZ7. However, the G10 has inferior video, while the TZ7 records inferior (to the WB550) audio. Video from the WB550 seems better than the TZ7 in low light.

it buzzes when zooming?

The microphone is built into the body, so it amplifies the sound of the zoom, as well as the "click" sound of my finger on the zoom toggle.
It isn't quite so noticeable when there is more noise present during filming.
For a good indicator of how good this camera is, check out the quality of the live "Skinny Puppy" concert footage I shot last fall.
