Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I read a lot of reviews about this camcorder on other sites, and it really seemed as though people were overly zealous about promoting the item, so I wanted to give something that I thought was a more realistic review of the item.
After purchasing this camcorder through Amazon.com back in November 2009, I found the same item being sold for much cheaper at other online stores (I bought it for just over $200 and have now seen it for as low as $175).
The camcorder I originally purchased was to have 60 frames per second (fps) with a still picture capture at 8.0 mega pixels. What was delivered has 30 fps and 12.0 mega pixels. I purchased the camcorder specifically for its motion picture capabilities, not still captures. I am a little disappointed.
The camera has a function called stabilizer, though it does not work with recordings higher than 720p leaving 1080p recordings very unstable and shaky, something that, in my mind, destroys the value of recording at 1080p especially while zooming in at any increment.
Lighting is has either a white tint or a somewhat yellowish tint depending on the setting.
After recording a 1080p clip I have played it back through a 1080p television though it was only recognized as being 1080i (I haven't run it through my computer yet, which by all means should support it, unless it's really just not supported at all).
At 1080p the picture is very clear while recording through the LCD screen, though remember I have only seen it at 1080i on an external screen, which was still a pretty clear picture aside from the jerkiness.
I have yet to test all of the camera's functions but so far it has fallen short of indicated expectations from advertisers. Another downside of the camcorder and camera functions is that at the lowest end of the zoom, it seems as though the picture is still zoomed in and should go back further.
This is my first camcorder and next time I purchase one I will expect to spend around $400 to $600 on a higher quality item and more than likely go to a store to play around with it.
Though this camera is as I expected: difficult at times and has some flaws here and there, like my wife, I have decided that I am going to keep it anyway and enjoy it for what it is. =o)
