This 3 CCD camcorder is remarkable !Must say : this camcorder does it job as a pro-camera ! Althought the controll on its LCD, it is heplful when you have to creat some agile scence.
Distrust
this appears larger than the PC-1000, and its not entirely to me what you get for that extra size other than a little extra zoom and the swivel mount. anyone understand the difference? thanks.
The Most qualified for the Price
It is an admirable camera, probably the BEST on market for the price you pay, excellent video characteristic, and good pictures too.
But need to improve 3 points:
1- You Cannot wath it on a PAL System TV, Thats top-level to me because have to travel a lot to Europe, but cannot show what i have recorded to my family there. All my olds cameras have that opportunity.
2- The Microfone is not as good as the cameras with the Mic on Front. This camera havi it on top, ¿why? i don't discern
3- Most of the funtions are on the touch panel, i want the white balance out, and possibly some others funtions.
Regard this camcorder but...
This is the uttermost little camcorder in the world with lots of bells and whistles that would have been way more high-priced a while ago. I do wish that it had actual fstops rather than a slider on the touch screen for more exact adjustments, ditto shutter speed and the manual focus is a bit fancy. More easily accessible manual controls would make it close to just right. the touch screen takes a little getting used to and is not the very superior idea. Other than that image quality is terrific under all sorts of different status, a camera mounted mike has decent sound and it is really a recreation to use.
Wonderful Camcorder in its Class
I had this camcorder for about a year and ruminate over this may be the best small 3-ccd in its class.
Pros: true to life see in the mind's eye; fine low-light shooting, manual functions; optical stabalization; advocate audio features; comfortable grip
Cons: most controls on LCD; anxious flashcard recording (limited to no more than 15fps)
