Still the best
1 of 2 found this helpful I now have 2 of these thanks to ebay. I bought one 5 years ago and have made some decent videos with this. I run the firewire into my PC and then edit with Sony Vegas.
Shortly after this camera they started to add a lot of extra features and changed the design. The newer models put a lot of controls on a touch screen. This was not a good move IMHO because then you have to have the LCD open all the time and you get finger prints on your screen. DUMB! This model has the better design.
The Mini-DV format is still better than the DVD recordables when your goal is to edit on your computer and then author your own DVD. and this camera works well in all lighting conditions. My first camera is still working great except the flash no longer works. The one I just got off e-bay was like new and all features work perfectly. The large LCD screen is great. I do not use the viewfinder unless it is on a tripod.
This camera had a good pro-sumer reputation when I bought it and I think it is well deserved. I have produced DVDs with this camera and already paid for it with the revenue. With some good lighting the average viewer can not see much difference between this one CCD and many of the 3 CCD camcorders.
I love it. I am going to get a wide angle adapter and cant wait to shoot some two camera stuff. I can hold off from buying an HD camcorder for awhile longer so prices can come down and formats can mature. I love this camera!
