 Rating:  - well...Bought the camera sight unseen, which was a mistake. I shoot in a lot of low light situations, which this camera DOES NOT do well in (my old digital 8 camera blows this away). I've had to boost to hyper gain which is an extremely grainy picture. Rating:  - Studio UseWe use this camera in a controlled environment, 5.5kw of incandescent light, and the images are sooo nice... The camera has been setup to shoot 24p all the time, and the color tweaked by me and a colorist, and the results are amazing. Our casting company uses it about 90% of the time, we record to a Focus FS 4 and to tape simultaneously. The Optical stabilization works amazing when hand held, the mic is not so good, but at least it's there. Wish it would ... Read More Rating: - Who should buy this camcorder?I bought my HVR-V1U and have had it a week now. I am very impressed with the quality of video with very good light. In low light the quality of this video camera is poor. But after doing hours and hours of research I decided on this model for a few reasons. 1) Size - This camcorder is about the same size as a VX-2000 with the same feel and pretty much the same layout. 2) 24p - This camcorder can shoot film in true 24p which is great if you want to give your video that "Film look" Read More Rating:  - Outstanding, with some minor caveatsI have had the chance to use this camera a few times, plus compare it to some other HD cameras out there in it's price range, and came away impressed by a few aspects, and more knowing about a few others to consider. All in all this is a great little HD camera that takes great pictures right out of the box. It handles really nice, has a true microphone that comes with it, and the lens is great on it with it's 20x ratio. It's slow-motion, though at quality a little less than SD, looks fantastic ... Read More Rating: - Best pro-sumer Sony yetI got burned on my VX-1000 with its 32K stunted audio, no firewire in and no manual zoom. The PDX-10 that followed was great- except for still missing a manual zoom. I looked really hard at the first HDV cameras- and decided to wait, and V1U was well worth it. Bought the Sony HD- and am totally amazed at how much faster my edit process is. The picture quality is phenomenal- but, we've mostly used standard DV since clients are quite ready to pay for HD. If you've shot with a PD-170 you'll find the ... Read More |
