it makes for nice videos especially around water but i wish the photos had the quality of a big lenz camera and the proper color for the blue tones.
also it uses sdhc memory cards instead of sony's expensive memory stick.
if you're looking for small camcorder with excellent picture and do not care much about the price, this canon hf s100 is the one.
also expect the price to drop $50-$100 in next 4 months.maybe under $900 by xmas (sales).be very careful of the memorystick/card camcorder contacts once erroded or loses its ability to make solid
this camera is relatively expensive but worth it if you want true hd in your home videos.
also, with canon mini-accessory shoe, you can attach a dm-100 "shotgun" mic to is which is superb (it also has a furry wind filter which works excellent outdoors).
you have it set up to film little billy in the corner but then he walks over to the window so now you lighting has changed.
this is a great canon camcorder for a very good price.
sony seems to be the only option but it's expensive.
whats also good about it is that it records to a 60gb hard drive as well as sdhc cards for more space.the price varies all over the web, but i recommend best buy because with the web purchase, you
it is well worth the price.
even though the price is high you are getting a 12.1 mp camera too so its worth it.
most consumer gps devices only reserve 1gb or so for map data, thus sony really cheaped out with the navtec maps.
the included software and downloaded update makes is easy to transfer, store, and search downloaded content to my pc running windows vista 64-bit.
another ridiculous error on the sonystyle.com site is the retail price on its newest compatible 37mm wide-angle lens.
it is a reasonable price for a good product and would recommend it if you are not extra fussy over picture quality.
it is an easy to use camcorder with a lot of features that you will not regret buying at such a low price!
what's great about it:?good price and easy to set up, what's not so great:?nothing, to me anyway "i must say that this is my first camcorder and i am having a ball with it.
overall, a very good product at a very reasonable price.
what's great about it:?good price, great picture quality!
i wanted to buy a different software program that i can use with my windows vista 64 bit that runs in my computer, but i need to make sure it is compatable with 64 bit and not just 32 bit.
for the price, and considering that i bought it new, i would expect it to be absolutely perfect when it came out of the box.
the canon hg21 has amazing high def pictures for daylight scenes.
outdoor shots are great and the 24p and 30p options for low indoor lighting work.
picture quality - in daylight and indoors with good light, the picture quality is exceptional.
i bought the extra capacity battery bp 819 even though it was expensive to make sure of continuous use of the camcorder especially on longer hours.
this is not a really cheap camera but it's not an expensive one either.
it also gives you many options found on expensive production video equipment.
bottom line: this is a great camcorder and a good value.
i use the clear filter to protect the original canon lens from dust, water and finger prints.
place the card in a secure place, and if the camcorder gets stolen or falls in the lake, you'll at least have the video you backed up.
it's a very good price here on amazon - sony is asking $599.
for the price it is hard to beat.
they matched the price online and i got it for 539.99
the sony hdr-cx100 is an excellent camcorder for the price.
this panasonic sdr-s26 camcorder is by far the best you can buy for the price, and is rated best camcorder of 2009 ces!
i simply transfer the videos where i want them via the usb interface, and watch them using windows media player.
you won't find high optical zoom, hd video, and low price.
for every day i can't find a better value - love this camera and sellers excellent service - highly recomend to friends - relatives - heck everyone!
extra batteries are cheap, so get a couple.
we got acceptable quality when we filmed outdoors in full sunlight.
i use windows xp service pack 3 and it only works with vista or service pack 2.
i'll start by saying what everyone else is saying, for the price, this camera is a gem.
excellent camcorder for the price, got it few days from 6th ave.
but overall, a+, especially given the price i bought this at (around $300 on amazon).
