Great little camera with amazing HD video and still pic

 

A great little camera for amateurs looking for something better than a camcorder. A good B-roll or documentary option for professional videographers.

Easy to use, good in low light. HD video quality is superb. Shotgun mic works well. Small size makes this camera highly functional in many challenging situations. Dual record feature lets you shoot HD video and rip still pics at the same time. I am also a

Wish it had normal manual focus and iris buttons. it is a pain to manipulate on the LED. wish it had XLR out for audio. because of these lacking features, this camera probably falls more into the prosumer category then a full blown professional cam

This Sony HXRMC 50U ultra compact is exactly what I wanted to buy. It is small enough to handle so it could be carried everywhere. It is also easy to use and the film is high quality.

Nifty Little Camera

 

This is a great little camera, the image quality is very nice. I've seen some complaints that it doesn't handle low lights well which is true unless you turn the auto focus off and adjust it manually.
