Reviewed by Mark on 22/11/2007 I'd been looking at getting a digital camcorder for a while now, but was always confused as to which format was best. The latest ones have hard drives or DVD's to film onto, but every quality camcorder site, said go with miniDV - Ease of use, broadcast quality, and 60 minute tapes, which are both easy to get hold of and quite cheap. And they were right about the quality, this small and compact camcorder really delivers. It's very easy to use, you can be filming straight away; with a very easy menu system, and a joystick located on the screen this is as easy as 1, 2, 3! With a 30x optical zoom, true 16:9 widescreen recording, easy auto focus shooting mode (you can go manual if required), different modes for b/w, sepia etc, this really has everything for the money - I paid £149.99 and it's worth every penny! For me the deciding factor was that it had a microphone input, I use it mainly to record songs with guitar and vocals - the inbuilt mics on camcorders aren't that good. I purchased an Audio Technica ATR25 and it really elevates the sound quality (no tape noise running in the background). With 16 bit stereo sound, and a firewire output, you can upload to your computer and get exceptionally good quality videos within no time, or you can use the supplied lead and plug into your TV, and watch them straight away. Windows Movie Maker, really does a good job of transferring your films. All in all a marvellous buy, and I would recommend it to anyone in the market for a good quality digital camcorder manufactured by a company with a good track record in Cameras and Imaging products. Hope this has helped you, good luck, Mark. Rating:
