$1,075.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
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.
from www.amazon.com
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.
from Makin It Happen, www.newegg.com

from www.amazon.com
this camera is relatively expensive but worth it if you want true hd in your home videos.

it's an amazing little camcorder at a very reasonable price from amazon.
from www.amazon.com
for $120, it is the best quality for a pocket-size camcorder and it is so small that i keep it in my purse so that i don't miss a thing.
from www.amazon.com
i gave it four stars instead of five because the picture quality is not as good as the larger, more expensive camcorder.
from www.amazon.com
it's even fallen out of my pocket into a puddle of water and still works fine!

from www.amazon.com
having downloaded some test video to my windows xp pc, i noticed that each video file has a separate 3k document that tags the video as being full or widescreen.

Panasonic AG-HMC150 Camcorder

for a fraction of the price of a p2 card, you get unbeatable storage capacities and beautiful image quality.

finely tuning focus or creating massive depth of field and soft backgrounds with ease, i think the focus ring is actually better than that of some of the more expensive p2 cameras panasonic offers.
from www.amazon.com
the recording media is very affordable, i bought to 16gb class 6 sdhc cards when i purchased this camera and so far is the easiest format to use especially if you come from a background using dslr's.
from www.amazon.com
to put such tiny sensors in a $3500 is poor, cheap engineering especially when slr have larger sensors, shoot hd and don't cost this much.

most consumer gps devices only reserve 1gb or so for map data, thus sony really cheaped out with the navtec maps.

i notice that if i use it indoors it isn't quite as rich as it is outdoors unless i have the lights on bright.
from www.amazon.com
the video i took outdoors was excellent quality, and i know the camcorder's image stabilization did a good job of mitigating my unfortunate tendency to jiggle it while filming.

great product and great price, especially compared to what some of my friends use - like a cam corder bolted in with a lipstick cam.

Samsung HMX-H105 Camcorder

i shot the same area of my office (dark reddish brown walls, windows with drapes over roman shades, another building blocking out the light.
from www.amazon.com
video quality of both camcorders in broad daylight is comparable.
from www.amazon.com
when i plugged the camera in via usb, the camera mounted up as a drive, as did a 19mb drive with what appears to be some video software for windows.
from www.amazon.com
luckily, there is an additional record button on the flip-out viewing window.
from www.amazon.com
without that ability, i find this camera too expensive for what it does do and intend to return it.
