Great value if 1440 x 1080i HDV is sufficient for your needs
3 of 3 found this helpful Surprisingly light weight for its large form factor. The on the shoulder use of this camera makes for rock steady video even while on the move. Use a wide angle converter and set the camera to wide angle conversion lens and you'll be able to get excellent results on video inside in houses, etc. Although the zoom is only 10x optical, the digital zoom takes it to 20x and is undetectable as being a digital zoom - no pixelation at all. An excellent choice at the entry level end of the pro/prosumer camera line. Recommend shooting everything in HDV and downconverting on transfer or in your NLE application.

Great older model HDV camera in a smaller form factor
3 of 3 found this helpful Excellent camera for working in tight spaces or crowded areas. Due to its size, it is also very good as a JIB mounted camera. Good complement to the larger HVR-HD1000 that we use. It uses the lower resolution 1440 x 1080i HDV, but we find that adequate for what we do. Also the 24p feature allows truly professional looking, film like videos.
