Sony DSR-PD170 450 Kilopixels DV Digital Camcorder

From: $2,099.00

The DSR-PD170P combines the latest technology: DVCAM record and playback, state-of-the-art 1/3-inch CCDs, PC-based editing, professional sound and built-in special effects. Add to that surprising ease of operation at an unexpectedly low cost and seamless compatibility with a host of other Sony products, and your multimedia, video-streaming or documentary-style messages are a lot closer to realisation than you would have thought possible.

At Smarter.com, we aim to ensure we give you the most sound buying advice possible. With our 'Cumulative Product Rating' system, in order for a product to receive a rating score, it must have a minimum number of ratings to qualify.

This system is not intended to diminish the value of products with a low number of ratings and reviews, they're great, and hopefully very helpful, but if you want our advice, we want to make sure that the product you're thinking of buying has been rated and reviewed by enough shoppers like you to be a valuable indicator of product quality.

From: B&H Photo Video Posted: Sep 13, 2007 Type: User Review Low Light Wonder

I've purchased this camera as well as the Sony HDV-FX7. This camera destroys the HDV camera in low light situations. It actually looks like there is more light than what actually is present in person. I have to admit that with ample light the HDV

I have been working with this camera for the last three years, off and on. It is basic and very solid in it's feature set, and continues to deliver quality in the SD 4:3 world. Primarily, it is the most light sensitive camera in it's class,...

This camera is a wondering thing, everything is where it should be. It feels like you would have a very hard time braking it, the thing its built like a tank ( compared to a gl2 at least ). over 130 hours shot and one 2, 4 frame DV drop-outs.
