What a Camcorder  |
|
I looked on all the sites before buying this camcorder, and that is after Sony had said about the new 2004 range coming out in a months time. This camcorder is Great. Perfect picture quality, not bad stills and its so light to have in your hand for an hours filming. I would recomend this camcorder to any one reading this. The low light filming is very nice. When your filming where there is no noise, you can hear the camcoders motor but only just, so dont worry about that. Get a spare battery at the same time as purchaseing the camcorder. Very NICE!!!

Overall very, very good  |
When looking for a camcorder, I essentially wanted something that recorded good quality video footage, with some basic editing features.Overall, this camcorder has absolutely loads of features (most of which Ill never use!). Its small & light; the super-steady shot function works well, with most camera shake removed. Picture quality is superb (Carol Zeiss lens), as are sound recordings. This camcorder has the added benefit of recording in 16:9 widescreen, which has even better picture quality (rectangular CCD). As with most DV camcorders, the optical zoom (10x) is good, with the digital zoom (120x) being near to useless! Feature-wise, this camera has firewire AND USB slots; as well as normal recording, it can be used as a webcam (USB streaming) and digital camera (stores pictures on Sony Memory Sticks). You can also record short MPEG videos to the memory stick. Other features include night-vision, DV in and out, a remote control, AV in and a rather nify touch-screen for the menu. Menu-wise, the options are displayed in a easy to use and informative manner, which makes a nice change! Its also quite light and has an accessory shoe. I only have 2 issues with this camera - (1) standard battery life is only 1.5hrs, so youll need a better battery; (2) as with most new camcorders, the tape loading mechanism is on the bottom of the camera, which means removing any tripod connections if you want to change the tape! Apart from that, definitely a recommended buy!

Best Camcorder in range |
|
Great Camcorder that has loads of features within easy reach. Very impressed with build and video quality. Spot metering, spot focus, and Auto/Hold white balance are really professional and easy to apply. Has all the connectivity you can think of. Good prices now that the new models are being released. Huge range of accessories for the enthusiast. Would have made a big mistake if I opted for another model/make now that the price is right. Would reccommend without hesitation.
