| This is an excellent video camera, ahead of it's time in some aspects. However, it has some downsides. short recording time per disk
disks available only in few online outlets
no USB capability (has ethernet connection, but it's slow)
uses "quicktime" output for video clips
no "nightshot" capability
unable to move files from one disk to another (I believe Sony offered a patch for this, but I was unable to find it) just to name a few here's some of the good sides of it... good resolution for video mode
seemless and static free slow motion
color viewfinder & large display screen
touch screen interface with video editor
ability to control each "track" as a file in moving it around in sequence
S-video output
compact size I'm believe at the time this camera was designed, it was outstanding, but today and a few years later, there have been some advancements in video cameras. I certainly hope Sony follows up this camera with another that records on disk or mini-disc, I'm not a fan of video tape. Though it is superior in capacity. Sony had the right idea on this, they just need to catch up with some better options on new models. I don't think people mind sacrificing a little bit on size as long as it has the options we want. |
