Reviewer Eric from USA/ Media Technology
I bought this camera in 2006, and I'm very happy with it's picture quality. At 1080i I can downconverted to SD and burn at on a DVD. I recently shot a 60min. at the L.A. Auto show and connected directly to my 50" Samsung Plasma at 1080i (HDMI), the

Excellent camera
It is really professional camera. I like it very much. I use Sony's F900 HDCAM and sometimes I also use XDCAM series camcorders. I decided to buy something smaller and lighter but with professional abilities. I found it. It is the Sony HVR-Z1U. T

HDV Work Horse
I've used my Sony HVR-Z1U HDV camcorder in some very extreme conditions, and it it comes through on a regular basis. I shot Hurricane Katrina video footage during the storm (for StormStock) in driving 100 mph rain. At that time, I had purchased...

This was the first HDV Camcorder I had tried this year (Jan, 2007) and I'm very happy with the results. . . The depth of field is amazing . .. The Quality is Identical to a 2/3 chip. I love the manual controls, Sony has improved a lot from the

This camera is amazing!
I like mostly everything about this camera. The LCD flip out is very big and placed in a great spot. It sits further away from the face so it's easier on the eyes. The manual controls are very well thought out in their placement. Although I would hav

We're impressed
My bride (of 43 years) bought this camera for her videomaker business, and as her "best boy" (?) I'm the guy who is using it. And I am impressed. I've shot in DV and HDV modes. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it played back an LP...

Z1 is a classic design and solid workhorse
I got the Z1 in June 06. While I usually practice with new cams for a few weeks before taking them on a job, this one was far more user friendly than I expected, so it went into service right away. I came from a PD150 background, and that helped...

Z1U is a good workhorse
I have used a Z1Us since they came out. I also use XL-1s. The Z1U has the highest res pic due to its being HDV. What I really like about it is that it is rugged. I've dragged it through the jungles of guatemala, the constant (ugh) rain of...

Good camera
This a great camera. Includes all the possible features I need/want. The only problem is that is not good in low light situations. It takes me back a few years when using VX-2000 & PD 150. I still have to use my VX-2100 in order of covering...
