This is an excellent camcorder and definately value for money. The picture quality is brilliant, I have viewed my own footage on a 40in HD TV and the results were outstanding. Although this camcorder is a hybrid there is not much difference between this product and tape operated camcorders. The connectivity is very good with 5 sockets which include USB, component, HDMI, iLink and AV. It's very lightweight and easy to use whether you are an experienced operator or a complete novice. The only downside I would say is that if you use an Apple MAC there are not many options for importing the footage, I used iMovie. The 60GB hard disk allows between 5 and 7 hours high definition recording. I would have no hesitation in recommending this product.
The HD Everio GZ-HD3 offers HD (High Definition) recording with 1440x1080i resolution. These HD pictures are extremely fine and detailed, containing 4.5 times the visual information of conventional SD (Standard Definition) pictures. With a 60GB built-in hard disk drive you can record up to seven hours of HD video (SP mode), plus you get two additional recording modes to select according to your requirements.
