Excellent camera geared towards the action sports/ adventure filmmaker This camera has been in my eye for roughly 3 years now and now that it is finally in my possession, I could not be more pleased. As the previous owner of a Canon Optura 300, I had been craving a more professional camera for a very long time. My Canon, while being possibly one of the best 1-chip camera I have ever used, was far too small for what I needed to accomplish with it. I craved for more manual control, an easier layout, a more stable camera, and full and in-depth control over white balan...

A Good Piece of Equipment with a few quirks This camera is easy to use and makes a good quality recording. Since it is an upper end product, it does have a longer learning curve than more simple models but the effort is worth it for the added features. There are, however, a few quirks which could have been fixed to make this a much more usable piece of equipment.
The provided microphone jack is an 1/8" stereo. In my camera, at least, it is not mounted very securely. When I have an external mike connected, I had to be very car...

Competition for the XL1S! This camera is fierce competition for Canon's XL1S. It has the features you need, the Sony name, and flawless transfer. WARNING!: This is NOT for the amateur home videoer. The parameters are begging to be tweaked - just for fun. Settle for a Handycam if you're just filming Billy's soccer game. This one right here is made to be USED. Good for media students, career filmers/editors, and anyone who wants to REALLY have some interesting fun...Sony doesn't disappoint on this one.

WOW! WHATA' CAMCORDER! UPDATE. 3-3-8. I used this camcorder to film myself making a house painting video. It has been selling on Amazon for over 10 months now. Check out house painting dvd's in the search bar from the DVD section and click on Weekend Painter's DVD! Or see a short clip at weekendpaintersdvd.com! This is the reason I bought this in the first place and it worked like the champ it is! Still going strong, but now I use for weekend trips to the mountains and beach, and so forth. Always pleased when I come h...

The Best Low Light Camcorder You Can Get I love this camcorder!
It is fantastic in low light, and good lighting too. I was torn between this and the new HiDef camcorders out right now and chose this one mainly because of the low light ability. I have not been disappointed at all. There are numerous manual controls to tweak to any shooting condition. Almost all have separate buttons dedicated to perform then individual functions. It balances very well, and while it is heavier than the small cameras it really does not f...

Love this Camera Alright there is so much to say about a camera like this but I'm gonna make it short for sure.
I've had mine for a couple of months now and I still haven't learned how to use all of its functions. But, in the case of this camera, its a good thing. The camera has sooo many functions its overwhelming at some moments. But slowly I'm picking them up.
I just used this camera as one of two cameras used for a short film and it seriously came through. The footage it takes...

Great SD Camera I had a really hard time deciding between this camera and the Panasonic DVX-100. The panasonic was more expensive, but this had great low-light performance. All in all, this is a great camera. It has AMAZING low-light performance, I use it mainly for recording onstage performances in dark theaters. I have never had a problem with it as of yet.
A few complaints are that it does not include XLR inputs. Some of the controls and functions are very consumer oriented as well. The fo...

3 Years and Going Strong I purchased this camera to use with my previous church's media ministry, based on my trial use of the VX2000. That was three years ago. This camera is STILL running as well as it did when I bought it. I use it upwards of 3 times a week to create content for web and DVD production, plus, I get great digital audio recordings when I plug directly into my current church's sound system. The ability to tweak audio and video input on the fly is incredible. Now that I am creating a multimedia team f...
