USERS REVIEWS:

I quite considerably like the controls (although I certainly recommend attempting out the Panasonic-style joystick handle prior to acquiring — some men and women can not stand it, even though I assume it’s undoubtedly the way to go). For 0 – 0 less, you can get a very comparable camera that simply omits the 3CCDs and has digital picture stabilization. The auto mode, nevertheless, will take care of 99% of what I require, and does a remarkably great task managing white balance and shutter speed. Assume to buy a separate charger for extended shoots. You will particularly notice the richer picture detail if you edit your video in the built in software or iMovie or Final Lower or whatever you use. The capacity to go complete manual permits me to take excellent shots in low light, backlit, or otherwise strange scenarios. You can make significantly broader colour and image adjustments on the image from this camera than you could with a 1-CCD camcorder. The only factors that helps make me give this camera significantly less than 5 stars are the manual concentrate, which requires that you be in full manual mode and also needs two button presses (a single on the side of the camera, and then you alter employing the joystick), instead than staying totally joystick-driven as all the other manual controls are and the AC adapter/battery charger which can Either charge the battery or energy the camera, but can not do both at the identical time. Whilst it has some outstanding capabilities like 3 CCDs (so it captures richer color), optical image stabilization, and entirely manual controls it also lacks specific desirable attributes this kind of as a genuine focus ring (it has manual concentrate, but it is joystick driven and imprecise), a headphone jack (even though it does have line-degree audio out), and the potential to pass analog video by way of to digital video. What individuals further attributes give you, even so, is a richer picture with much less noise and more detail, and a considerably much more steady handheld picture. I’ve only had this camera for a few days, but I am very pleased with it. Personally, I am really pleased with this camera. To get all people features, you’d require to devote about 0 – 0 far more on one thing like the PV-GS500. This camera sits in a very unusual spot among client cameras and pro level (or at least prosumer) cameras. . Before purchasing this camera, nevertheless, take a seem at what else is out there

. If you happen to be going to do a lot of indoor shooting test into this meticulously. – Manual is one particular of the worst I’ve ever witnessed, requires a number of reads to get via. – Car white balance can be a little slow to kick in, but looks to function effectively otherwise. – Manual concentrate is accomplished with the joystick. Must be, it is a Leica, but these days Leica is throwing their title on a lot of reduced-end (comparatively) buyer cameras and camcorders with varying benefits. Focusing with the joystick is Awful. If not for this I’d give it 5 stars. – I like the joystick control. The lens looks to be incredibly sharp. Tends to make deciding on possibilities really quick. To me this is the most severe disadvantage of this camera. . Panasonic truly goofed right here, this camera requirements a focusing ring like a child needs a mom. Third celebration extended existence batteries are cheap, I advocate obtaining one. You do require to spend some time familiarizing oneself with all the options, but this will be time properly-spent and you only want to do it when. I’m not certain how it compares to other people, but some critiques mention that the Sony model in the very same value range is superior in this regard. – This camera is just too tiny and light to hold steadily. I’ve had it for about a month now, and I can’t think about that there is anything at all out there greater than this and comparably priced. A background in nonetheless photography helped me immensely in comprehension some of the manual functions, but I really feel sorry for individuals who open this manual with no some kind of earlier experience. When buying for a camcorder, you have to comprehend that at this price tag point there are going to be compromises. According to all the reviews, this is one of the best at this level. Overall, I am convinced this camera is a fantastic deal. Right here are my likes and dislikes:The Excellent:- price tag (obviously)- picture good quality outside is exceptional. In great light the image high quality is excellent, so if you happen to be shooting mostly outside this is the one particular for you. – Menus are fairly simple to navigate. – Reasonable battery lifestyle. The only severe flaw is the lack of a focus ring, everything else is just a function of the compromises you have to anticipate in this value variety. The Bad:- Reduced-light efficiency is very good but not great. Gorgeous color and clarity. an exercising in frustration. Some people never, but I am a massive fan. On the other hand, if you’re just going to turn it on and shoot in automatic mode all the time it’s not an situation

There have been many events captured in HD – recitals, ball games, birthdays, etc. I have been able to use cheap DVD’s (available here at Amazon). It records in HD. Recorded media (8cm. DVD-R’s) is encoded in AVCHD and can be played directly using a bluray player. -ep Help other customers find the most helpful reviews  Was this review helpful to you?  >Report abuse | Permalink  Comment 9 of 11 people found the following review helpful: Nice product, April 24, 2008 By  M. Kurapati “Ram” (Fallschurch, VA United States) – See all my reviews    This review is from: Canon HR10 AVCHD 3.1MP High Definition DVD Camcorder with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Electronics) I got this at a cheaper price, but the quality is worth the price. It has features, that most other camcoders doesn’t have. It uses a codec format, that stores HD media on non-HD media (like DVDs). Very Nice.

This review is from: Canon HR10 AVCHD 3.1MP High Definition DVD Camcorder with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Electronics) Actually, it probably is outdated. The DVD format is not the most efficient way to go. But the quality of the shots I’ve gotten with this camera are awesome for the price I paid. I’m willing at this point to get the quality and do a little extra work in the post-production phase to convert the video. It took a bit a bit to figure out the best way to get the video, in either SD or HD format off the disks and onto our editing machine. We used Any Video Converter (Free) to convert the files to a more editable format. The quality of the camera when used with proper lighting is amazing for a single CMOS camera. It does have issues with poor lighting. It will become grainy, especially when working under red lights (like what we had in our haunted house). The limited time that can be captured (especially under HD) per disk can be a problem if you just want to shoot all day long and not worry about changing disks. If you want to make webisodes/independent movies its not really that big of a problem if you manage disk space adequately and use DL disks. There are also plenty of 37mm lenses that can screw onto the front of this thing but once it is attached BE CAREFUL. Its not a solid mounting system like you’d get with a prosumer/professional camera and I could image a good wack on the lens breaking the camera threads, lens and camera housing quite easily. The two biggest things that I don’t like are the lack of any support on Canon’s website. I would have liked to have seen a firmware update available by now that would make increase the battery life, add additional presets, or improve focus detection. Not that any of those things are terrible now, but firmware updates can always make those things better. The other problem that I have with the camera is that to capture pictures you’ll need to buy a miniSD card. Not SD, SDHC, or even microSD…but miniSD. A dead format for cards. So if you buy this camera don’t think that the plethora of SD cards you have laying around will cover you. You’ll need to buy a miniSD card or two from Amazon at the same time.
