Customer Review: My First High Definition Camcorder
Summary: 5 Stars
I wanted a camcorder to record AVCHD directly to DVD media and play immediately in one of my Blu-ray players (one is a PS3). This camera looked like a good choice and I am very happy with the purchase. Although I understand most consumers will use a PC for editing and/or playback and/or storage of home videos, that isn't of any interest to me. If transfer to PC is the intended use, you probably don't want to record to DVD media and possibly don't want this camcorder but instead may want something with built-in memory or hard drive. I don't have a PC connected to any of my three HD displays but I do have Blu-ray players on each.
I am happy with image quality and ease of use. Quality with recording inside under low lighting is only average at best, I am sure. That one shortcoming is normal for camcorders in this price range with such a small CMOS sensor. Outside with sunlight is where I use the camcorder almost exclusively and the image recorded at highest bitrate looks great even using my projector and 100" screen. Image quality at the lower bitrates is excellent as well but I have decided to record at highest quality even if the improvement is only subtle.
I did purchase a couple of 4GB SanDisk PRO Duo memory sticks with MagicGate, and have recorded to one then copied the video to a DVD-R so I have no idea what the reviewer with complaints about memory sticks is referring to. Even that process was more trouble than I want to mess with so I plan to continue to record directly to DVD. I will keep the memory stick in the camcorder for those times when I don't have a DVD handy.
I can confirm the video recorded plays fine in my LG BD300, Sony BDP-S1, Oppo BDP-83 and 40GB Sony PS3. If I recall correctly, it takes a few seconds to format a DVD-R before recording and about 1 minute to finalize after recording before playing in another device, pretty painless requiring a couple of button pushes on the LCD screen. I did install an AVCHD player in my laptop but apparently I don't have the horsepower to play AVCHD, it is choppy and stutters, totally unusable.
