Review: i'll keep this review simple - i used numerous high quality dv cams at university while studying animation, so i know a fair amount about the technology, and for the price i paid a few weeks ago on amazon (£[...]), this little gem is a bargain.
overall excellent, great quality of image and sound, some nice (if basic) features, great widescreen mode, and the docking station is very useful.
my single gripe is the horrid sony software that's supplied - i'd definitely recommended using a third-party application if you can. oh, and if you're using firewire make sure you have a cable as one isn't supplied, though a usb2 cable is included, so it's not all bad.
another quick recommendation - get a spare battery - the one supplied lasts about 40mins, not bad but not a full 60mins of a dv tape, so a little frustrating when you're out and about - and when using the batteries for the 1st time take the battery level indicators with a pitch of salt, in my experience it only gives an accurate reading once drained and then charged a few times. |
