Helpful consumer’s review
Before purchasing the camcorder, I read several reviews, which were very good.
I have owned the product for about 6 months, and found it to be excellent in most respects.
The downside to owning this camcorder is that there is no control over the sound volume, this of course can be edited out when using good editing video software.
The only other minor niggles are that I have found that it is slightly on the heavy side, but not annoying so.
You also need a spare battery as with any camcorder.
This camcorder is very good when shooting in low light, especially with buildings with poor interior light. There is a spot light which comes in handy when this situation occurs.
This being my first camcorder, I found it difficult at first to keep it steady when shooting, but the image stabilizer helps a great deal.
I have also purchased a tripod, which I am sure in due course will come in handy.
If you are looking for a high definition camcorder, I don’t think you will be disappointed with this purchase.
