Customer Review: Great Camera So Far...
This is the first videocamera I've ever owned since my parents huge, clunky VHS camcorder. I've had the camera for a few weeks now and am very satisfied with it. I only gave it 4 stars because I've not yet tested all of the many features. High Defnition, writes directly to SD Memory Cards (No internal memory). Copying to computer is very fast. Takes excellent 8MP photos. I love the 24p + Cinema Mode. Its small, so you need a steady hand at times. All in all, I'm very satisfied.
Customer Review: Best bang for the buck
Skill: Event Videographer Product Usage: 6 months (5 projects made with it) Pros: 1) Exceptional HD Video quality (especially outside in daylight) 2) Mac Friendly (iMovie, FCE 4, FC Pro) 3.) Flash Memory is so much better than HD drives (great camcorder for automotive mounts) 4.) 24mbps is great! (the 24p and 30p are awesome) 5.) New intuitive menus are very user friendly Cons: 1.) Below average video quality in low-light (indoor) areas 2.) Digital Still Picture quality is okay. I would still keep your still cameras 3.) The lens shutter makes some noise when it's closed. I fixed this by adding a very small rubber lining. 4) As usual, included software is horrible (what do you expect, its FREE) 5) Need a fairly fast computer to do the editing Notes: I suggest also buying/using: A)58mm multi coated UV lens glass filter ($20) B)16gb SDHC Memory Card Class 6 with a card reader ($40) C)HDMI to mini HDMI cable ($20) D)The bigger battery ($150) E)A good editing program like Premier or Final Cut F)Use at least a 2.5 ghz Core Duo and 3gb of ram to edit G)Turn off facial recognition to improve focus time The included battery lasts about 1.5 hours which would exactly fill a 16gb memory card. I highly recommend this camcorder for people trying to transition to entry level-pro videography.
