Sony HDR-XR200v testing

[LooneyM3]

i heard this has horrible quality indoors, and looks grainy.. is this true?

As with all video cams you need adequate lighting for quality indoor video. I actually no longer have this Cam. I recently bought a Canon HF20 which I feel is a better HD cam.

@LooneyM3 Its not bad to be fair, i tested with no lights on indoors and it was ok. All Camcorders are not great indoors unless you have decent lighting.

I would say dont let what you think is an issue with indoor recording put you off buying this model.

@nopal90,

I encoded the raw video using a high bit rate to a wmv file then simply uploaded it to youtube. It's really not difficult,

[isp10man]

I just purchased this for the wife... Waiting for it to charge up so we can test it out... Looking at your test video makes me think it was the right choice...

I used Pinnacle Studio Version 12. It's a nice CAM.

I've been looking for a review for this camera. If anyone knows of a good review, can you PM me? thanks!

[sgvscott]

Right on man. I'm enjoying it so far. It takes awesome video. And when you hook it up to your HD TV, the picture is awesome.
