Helpful consumer’s review
I have a Sony HD camcorder which is superb and it has a 4mp camera for taking photos as well as hd video. Even though the camcorder is quite small its a little bit bulky to carry round just for taking photos. I also had an 8 mb itworks camera which took good photos but absolutely ate batteries!! so annoying… so I thought “you got to get a decent camera” (for photos) I did some searching and when I came across this one advertising the fact that it also did HD video as well, I thought this has got to be for me. I know all about the fabulous video quality of Sony’s HD camcorders so I thought if the hd video footage is anywhere near that on the digital camera then that would be an absolute bonus!
The quality of the photos blew me away and the 10x’s optical zoom is just brilliant!!. The stabilising software of the camera at such zoom levels is perfect.
It so intuitive and easy to use, and the build quality is excellent.
The HD video is slightly less quality than my £600 sony camcorder but the added bonus of hd video and the increased recording space (4mb mmc card as opposed to my camcorders dvd drive 2.4gb) is great. The images (jpgs) and video (mpg4) play without need for software on my PS3.
Close up shots are absolutely stunning and vistas are so detailed, even when zoomed in.
I haven’t used all the features of this camera by a long way but if you are looking for a great easy to use camera that takes stunning photos and super hd video then you just got to get one of these. I’m so glad I did!
