Advantages: HDMI, Manual Settings, Large LCD Screen, Quality steady shot, Battery Life
Disadvantages: No XLR Input, Battery charges on camera

...2001 I've been using the Sony VX2000E camera, which was labelled as a pro-sumer model because unlike a small compact handicam, the VX2000E was the top end of Sony's consumer models. Anyone that buys a car knows that if you are ever fortunate enough to buy a brand new car, you always want to try and stay at that level, well the same is true for me and cameras, I'd got the best that I could afford back then and when considering what to replace it with, ...
...again. The Sony HDR FX7E was my answer. There are numerous settings on the camera, and I would expect that anyone serious on buying a camera like this, would be looking for more detailed technical reviews than I can possibly put here. However, this review aims to be a broad overview of what the camera offers and how it performs in my view therefore I hope it is of use. CONSUMER/PRO-SUMER/PROFESSIONAL. The last thing I want to do here is come across ... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use and very very cheap
Disadvantages: no lens cover and no built in light

This is the new Panasonic NV GS230. This is an incredibly versitile little camera and at the price is very affordable. This is a very easy camera to use and its functions are very easy to understand although they are quite basic but if your like me and don't want hundreds and thousands of little buttons flashing at you it is perfect. Now before you ask i know this is a mini dv camera so i know its not the most recent in camera technology but i really ...
...unless your filming for amateur films or something i really cant see the need to spend that much more when mini dv is perfectly acceptable in fact is more than adequate and is excellent value for money. For stills this camera offers 2.3 mega pixels not brilliant but if you want good stills use your digital camara!! its not what its built for. The camara also offers SD storage for that extra memory space which i personally find very useful. One ... Read review

Advantages: Small, lightweight, east to use, strong and sturdy
Disadvantages: Battery doesn't last long enough

...Brief Description ******************* The JVC Everio GZ-MG26EY is a very compact little hard drive camcorder with a 20GB hard disk, 32x optical zoom, widescreen, LCD display and many other features I will go into later. It fits nicely into a small shoulder bag and can be carried around quite comfortably ready to shoot if needs be. It feels very nice when strapped in to your hand and all basic fuctions are easily accessible with the one hand holding ...
...******************* You get the JVC camera, a audio video lead to connect to a television, a charger and battery and a remote control which comes in handy. Also a lens cap and hand strap. You do not get a bag or holder of any kind so you will need to purchase one of these seperately. You also get a set of very easy to follow instructions. Lcd Screen ************* This is a 2.7" widescreen for filming with and for playback if required, it will ... Read review

Advantages: Small Size, Light Weight, Good Movie Quality, Easy to Use, automatic settings do a great job.
Disadvantages: Still picutre quality less than stellar, software adequate but not great.

...a very good camera from Sony which combines most of the features you really want in one small, compact package. The LCD screen is clear and the touch menus are easily navigated although manipulating the camera through software is much easier and I tend to do it this way to preserve the screen. The still picture quality is ok but not on a par with a camera deisgned for that purpose. The camera fits nicely into your hand and weighs very little so ...
...periods. Battery life is adequate at around 100-120 minutes, and the camera recharges simply but putting it on its base. Recording time is huge, thanks to the huge 30GB hard disk. The camera performs excellently on the on fully automatic settings, it's literally as simple as point and shoot. The only improvement would be if lens cap control was automatic, as I've made a few films of the lense cap but this is a small complaint and easily remedied! ... Read review
