Great Camcorder
This is a great Camcorder. I'll pick up another soon. It's weakness is low light recording, but is well worth the cost. More >>

a bit different than what i thought
the audio is fantastic the extra place to hook up mikes and stuff is one of the best features. It also can convert hdv to dv or keep it as HDV some other cool effects include sepia shooting, blurred shots, as well as black and white. More >>

Great camera for the price!!
I recently had the Canon GL1 and thought it was time to upgrade to Hi-Def. After reading about 30 customer and 20 pro reviews it was the only camera that was offered pro features and great image quality worth way more then the price. More >>

Very Handy, But Falls Short of a Great Camera
This camera is loaded with great features that are hard to find in prosumer grade miniDV / HDV, but the CMOS sensor doesn't cut it for me. More >>

Great Second Camera
I intended for this camera to augment my main camera (Sony FX-1) on video shoots. I am a serious hobbyist. More >>
