will be waiting for your reply, i dont mind any other recommendations:)))

[Techmoan]

@taya786 They are very different cameras - it really depends on what style you want. . Bear in mind what I said about how I hold cameras and see what style you prefer. The Samsung looks good and if you can get it cheaper than the Sanyo it might be even better value for money. I haven't been looking at camcorders since this review so I'm not sure what is out at the moment.

Whats the current sony that you use? Thanks!

[Techmoan]

@CasusIter It's a Sony HDR-TG3 (TG1 in US). Sony replaced this in their range with the HDR-TG7 (TG5 US) and then discontinued it. If they had a follow up, I'd buy it immediately, it's the ideal camera for me. The only issue is that it's 1080i.

nicely done review. can you please do a review of the sony tg5? i want to know if the zoom speed is adjustable and how the manual focus works. thanks techmoan

[Techmoan]

@thelostbobby7 The TG5 is an excellent camera (now discontinued). I have the TG3, but the features you ask about work the same way. The zoom has a number of speeds depending on how far the wheel/lever is pushed. It does every speed I need from very slow to very fast. The manual focus works by tapping the option on the screen and pressing + or - to adjust the point of focus - better still is Spot focus where you tap on the item on the screen that you want to focus on in the scene.

Before it arrived, I was a bit sceptic about such a feature-rich camera being so small and cheap. I've had a few cameras, including Sanyo and Sony and this one surprisingly came out on top with respect to picture quality for both video and still images. Handles outdoors and indoors shooting very well. Adjusts to changes in light ...

are you sure you dont live in that "flamboyant" part of the town . if you do then hello sailor ;)

Is it just me, or does Manchester vaguely resemble Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada?

[ZILOGz80VIDEOS]

people do that? I use an ANCIENT Sony handicam that I have to practically carry on my shoulder and it seems that people actually try to get INTO the field of view. But then I live in America, it's probably just a culture difference. That or they think it's a TV camera and not a basic non-serious camera from the mid 90's
