HDcamcorder10/28/05
- Pros:
- Excellent Camera, takes great picture
- Cons:
- Battery Life, HD movie file editing on computer, price to high!
This camcorder is a pure joy to operate. I really like the balance of manual controls and the automatic ones. The touch screen metering is really a nice feature. The built in mic is great sounding! Image stabilization works better than any I have ever used.
A few low points...
Low light performance is not great. Grainy dark and ugly in dim lit rooms. The video tends to look somewhat smeared even when shooting in strong light. Bottom loading tape makes it hard to use on a tripod.
Editing HDV on a computer is still not as smooth and easy as editing regular SDV. You really should demo one to see how it will work for you in low light, so wait until you do see it for yourself before you spend a dime on this camcorder! CC charges 15% restocking fee if youtake it back. I know because I did.
okay, DON'T buy this battery! This battery ,

Sony Hc4008/29/05
- Pros:
- Compact, easy to use!,
- Cons:
- Night shot POOR!
I have bought this camera a month ago. I just taped an wedding event. To solve night shot problem. I went out purchased an night light, that fit on top of camera. I got other upgrades for this camera.
I really love this camera, the size is GREAT! light too. It takes great video shots in the daylight time. It takes great night shots, with the night light. I pruchased the night light for $40 buxcs. Too take a night video, turn on the nightshot pluss feature on the camera, then turn on the night light on the top of camera.
The night shot functions on the camera work very poor, without the night light. PS: If own this kind of camera, must pruchased the night light extra.
