Sorry, I always try to look for alternatives for my video cam needs, but Sony keeps winning my heart over and over with both excellent performance and the sexiest designs. I'm buying their second highest end model at the end of this year or early next year. :)
Bought one. Retruned it twice (so far). Poor picture quality, runs hot, camera locks up and battery lasts 24 min. All around performance is poor. Stay away from this one. It isnow selling for $799.
Appears to be a great camera! I noticed that in the photo mode the maximum aperture is f/2.8 even at the wide end, not f/1.8 like in the video mode. The manual doesn't mention this. I wonder why this limitation exists... Going to full f/1.8 would really help with low light photography. I haven't found a way to change this. I have HF S100 PAL.
I assume a zoom lens is always a compromise. And when the zoom range gets bigger so does the compromise. In the DSLR world best lenses are of fixed focal length and all high image quality zooms have a limited zoom range.
do u care that it doesnt have a view finder? i donno if i should wait till canon releases this with one or just get it....im not sure if iw ill use it or not :(

Nobody has commented on the girl? She's so little miss prncess, but I bet she's scary as hell when she snaps. Don't mess with her.
$1400 is way too much.

yes, especially when its $300 cheaper everywhere ive seen it.
theres also a flash card version which is also hundreds of dollars cheaper..

why the most expensive camcorders have lower optical zoom range? this one has only 10X optical zoom !!!
pkoicetr 2 years ago
you dont need anything past 10x, haha honestly zooms really shouldnt be used anyway, except for rare instances

it's useful when you shooting still images or an action you can not be closer to
