You Really Can't Go Wrong For This Price!

 

An excellent little camcorder. A decent lens, very good picture quality and easy to operate. It has all the main features you need.

Consumer review by:

Good Value For Money

 

The picture quality is very good, but I would say it isn't broadcast quality if that is what you are expecting !. It is HD though and looked fine on a 1080P tv. For HD Viewing, you can connect the camcorder to your TV via a Mini HDMI to standard HDMI...

Black and white...and GREAT all over!

 

I actually bought the black one, but thought I'd review both of them. :)

Consumer review by:

Wow, surely a misprice?!?

 

I can't believe I only paid £199.99 for this little gem!

Consumer review by:

GZ-HM430

 

This is a great little camera for the price. (on offer at £130). Its main selling point being the x40 optical zoom and a fast lens (f/1.8-6.3), which gives it a quite good low light performance.
