Ideal For Competitive Soccer YouTube Video Posting

 

I use this for chroma key work, HDV is easy on the computer and the key is clean , see youtube http://youtu.be/b5UtaB-HtOY or "Ron Holt wanton song" I tried DSLR's and the AVCHD format , I like HDV much better

Quick focus, super low light,rich color

no issues

Outstanding Camera

 

Simply the best video camera I have ever used. Couple of great features which are unusual for a Sony camera are: 1) The tri-pod mount is actually solid and 2) Doesn't have any of the gimmicky Sony consumer nonsense that Sony low-end cameras have. It...

Impressive but what is "Progressive Scan?"

 

I've had the camera running for a day and it is very impressive. I shot my last feature doc on a Panasonic DVX100 and on another Panasonic 3CCD.

Manual Control, including Gain, great low light

No XLR, cold shoe placement possible conflict with LCD

Excellent Quality Build, Superb controls, Spectacular Color, Shoots in HDV - output to HDV or SD - brilliant

Indoor location would benefit from wider angle lens

Dream Come True

 

The best selling Prosumer Handycam just got better, read the specs, it has an enormous list of improvements. The value sticks to this camcorder like it sticks to a classic car, you'll enjoy for years. I am enjoying the ease and reliability thoroughly....

Familiar controls, outstanding quality, made in Japan

No bluetooth mic. Not that anyone has it
