"Excellent, professional entry level camera! Perfect!"
this is a great camera for a good entry level price if you are serious about film. the 2 XLR plugs are a serious plus and the lens is amazing. 1/3" 3CCD are amazing, crystal clear HD picture!!!...
Is the 24F issue an Avid bad or a Canon bad? They're both to blame. Just a little warning before you shoot hours of 24F and then want a friend edit for you on an Avid.
This camera is truly great product for any filmmaker. Its truly a great quality camera for its performance, video quality, Value, and Features. I love canon cameras but I'm not going to write a...
I notice this camera claims "True 1080" resolution. All HDV cameras cannot capture true 1080 resolution which is defined as 1920x1080. The HDV format is limited to 1440x1080 and crummy 4:2:0 color...
Hi, While talking of pocket camcorders I wonder why every site, every review speaks only of the Flips & Kodaks, while safely avoiding the Toshiba Camileos. I guess the Flips are damn good, but...
Good product, Lousy battery situation, DO NOT BUY if you need more than 1 hour uninterrupted video!!! THIS BATTERY PROBLEM is not a possible "lemon product" thing. I bought 3 or them to record the...
Flip may have pioneered the idea of pocket Internet video cameras, but it has been a little bit slow moving up to HD. The diminutive Mino was the first to be updated (to the MinoHD naturally], and...
I just got this last night, so haven't had a chance to spend a lot of time with it yet. However, the simplicity of the Flip is the thing I like about it most. I don't think it's meant as a...
"Just what I thought it would be - no more, no less"
This camera is pretty much what I expected for the money. I wanted something to film a new grandchild with, and this is perfect. If you want to do more, such as take on vacation or use for...
Its easy to use, its fun, its spontaneous. Anyone can use it... the interface and software keeps it simple. Though there are some easy improvements that could make the software better without...

FlipVideo gives better sound and video than my $800 Sony Camcoreder, and it is very easy to use! My problem is with the FlipVideo software, latest update, on my new laptop running VISTA Home. It...
I bought this camera to film classroom demonstrations. It has been a total, expensive, nightmare. The zoom is poor -- I saw people with cameras and even phones with better zooms. The method by...
I was looking for a camera that was compact, easy to use and pretty much self contained. It also had to be compatible with Mac's and PC's. High Def was also a requirement. I have found that the...
Mac users buy a Flip for now because of file output. If you are a PC user definitely buy a Creative Vado I have both and the wide angle lens on the Creative makes it definitely worth it plus the...
The company that pioneered the pocket-sized flash video camera has taken it a step further with the MinoHD, a pint-sized camcorder that shoots 720p high-def video, in a case that’s no bigger than...
The mino stopped charging after the third use! contacted tech support for mino and was directed to return the mino. They mailed it back and said "SORRY" avoid this company like the plague! It's...

Don't kid yourself - this isn't a full bore professional camera. What it IS, is a portable, functional and fun point-and-shoot video camera that does a specific job, and does that job well....

I bought the JVC MG155. It worked great for one month. Then edges of moving objects became extremely distorted. Phone support was very friendly, but after 2 attempts, their service department has...
The sleek and intuitive Everio GZ-MG155 ($600 as of April 26, 2007) fits comfortably in your hand, in part because it stores files on a 30GB hard drive rather using a bulky DVD drive. Of course,...
I love this camera. It's tiny, but does not feel like a toy. The auto-focus is very good and fast enough for my needs. The 12x optical zoom with Optical Image Stabilization is great. The image...
If you do not have Windows XP or 2000 be very aware!
This is a good produce except for a few things. The battery life on both the camera and the external hard drive is very poor. The software that comes with the camera can only work on Windows XP or...
Panasonic bills its AG-HSC1U, a souped-up version of its AVCHD-based consumer (and now discontinued) HDC-SD1 , as the smallest available professional three-chip HD camcorder. Weighing about a...
Pros: Waterproof, Ease of Use, Small Cons: None Own at Nikon D200 for the really good shots. However, bought this for a ski trip. Tucked it in my sleeve pocket and took video and stills with my...
Not Water Proof and they Exclude the Waterproof gaskets in the Warrenty
I purchased this camera for fun at the beach with my daughter. I followed the instructions to properly, closed the battery/SD card compartment as directed and double checked to make sure it was...
Have had this camera around and in salt and fresh water filming fly fishing and it is holding its own so far. The zooming function is a bit difficult to toggle and could be almost impossible for...
Photo gallery: Sanyo Xacti VPC-E1 Nowhere is the line between still cameras that capture movies and video cameras that take stills fuzzier than in the ambiguous market segment occupied by the Sanyo...
1. The quality of the recording in anything other than bright daylight is abysmal and cannot be called high definition. It seems to have lines throughout the image, as if there was some kind of...
This is a good camcorder for any doing any type of thing. From family videos to videography. I like that it has pretty good quality on SP. HQ especially. I use this cam for everything I do, and...
Not very easy to use, and don't lose the manual or you'll be sorry. Wish I had spent my money elsewhere. The simple task of recording an event made fiendishly hard! First you format the disk,...
The Sony DCR-DVD610 is an entry-level, standard-definition DVD camcorder aimed at the 'casual' demographic (i.e., undemanding customers). What it lacks in features and image quality it makes up for...
The tape-based HDV camcorder is an increasingly rare beast. Despite delivering arguably the best image quality of any video format, it has been all but replaced in the consumer market by the...
The best reason to buy this camcorder is if you don't want to fuss too much with it but want to get the best picture you can. This camera takes great video, and really lives up to the name of...
Sony HDR-HC7 6.1MP MiniDV High Definition Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoom See my review of the HDR HC7 that I own. Since the HDR HC9 is a next generation model using mini-dvs it is quite...
"This camera for the money is not worth it...HDD is gone"
The onboard software is crappy, to many errors...the HDD is crappy, stores data only to crater when you try and copy...Sony must recall and replace all HDD's or refund everyone's money...I held...
I got this camera after much research - I know they no longer sell it but if you can get this (or it's 120GB big brother the SR12) go for it. For the money, IMHO there is no better consumer camera...
The popularity of hard disk drive standard definition and high-def camcorders continues to climb. Nothing beats the storage capability of a HDD video maker—just think, you can record hour after...
This is a great video camera for the price. It is built with sony quality, and the features are amazing! the touch screen is easy to maneuver, and the options are easy to manage. The picture is...
"After a month, I would have gone with something else"
With a 20% re-stocking fee if I return this, I am pretty much stuck with it. Getting an extra battery (smaller than a standard "D") will set you back $120+, unless you go with el-cheapo imitations,...
Most camcorder buyers treat the phrase 'high definition' like some high-tech gospel to be fanatically revered. After all, if it has 'HD' slapped on the box, it must be the cream-of-the-crop, right?...
I bought this camera from Circuit City on the day I was to fly out on a 2 week vacation. I have a Sony HI8, but I wanted a better quality camera to archive my children's activities.
"1st one lasted 2 wks. It just stopped trying to preview"
1st one only lasted 2 weeks failing on vacation Panasonic?s reply ? send it in at your expense and we will tell you if it is covered under warranty. As a general recreational video camera, it is...
I've used the camcorder for a couple of weeks now, and I like it. Some reviews I'd read spoke of poor video quality, and it's not great, but it's good. I haven't had it in the water yet, but it did...
I have used the SDR-SW20 for over 2 months now and overall I am happy with the product. Easy to navigate menu, nice picture quality (not HD!), lightweight. My only but important point of critique...
For those who need a compact, weatherproof camcorder that can take some abuse and only plan on sharing the results online, the Panasonic SDR-SW20 may be of interest. Otherwise there are plenty of...
I researched a number of camcorders before settling on the PV-GS90. When I opened the box I was initially a little wary because the plastic housing on the camera looks very cheap. I had a...
I bought this camera first at Best Buy first in order to record a very important event. However, after the event, I noticed, while reviewing the video, that there was a distracting dead pixel...
Purchased based on Amazon Product Description which incorrectly state that cam has a cold shoe and a SD Card Slot. It does not. Other than that I can't say any more about it...
We bought the Vixia HF10 new in April of 2008, and took it with us on vacation, where it produced 79 sterling videos. After returning home, we continued to use it, and it performed well until just...
The release of a flagship camcorder from Canon is always met with keen interest from the video community. Simply put, the company produces the best digital imaging hardware on the market, with each...
This a good Photo/Video device. Has excellent sound quality, no background hiss or noise. I was going to buy an aiptek Camera combo but when I saw it I thought that it was going to break in my...

"Very neat and stylish, "fun" size and simple to use. :)"
I love this camera as it is really girlie. I have the pink one, and it is so cute. I fell in love with it immediately. Don't get me wrong, I am no Paris Hilton and I don't just go for style, but...
