Revainrating 5 out of 5

I do not cease to rejoice at the purchase, a very good deal!

Instead of purchasing a broken Mini-DV, I opted to purchase the camera with the intention of using it for professional purposes (I photograph weddings). I approached it with skepticism, and after that I moved straight to Full HD, despite the fact that none of my pals had any previous experience with the format. One of the matrices made me feel ashamed. There are no standard cameras available for less than 12,000–15,000 dollars. As soon as I started utilizing it, I dove into the features, which instantaneously revealed the benefits, which are that it is lightweight, has convenient ergonomics, and contains all of the required settings. To tell you the truth, I only use the white balance from the settings, and occasionally I turn on back light compensation. However, the camera has additional very useful options, such as adjusting the contrast, softening the skin color, and well, there's something else. What I haven't used in over 2 years, despite the fact that there are several options for face recognition there, including grin detection, is some kind of rubbish))) In addition to that, I mount the camera on a monopod, also known as a one-legged tripod, which helps to improve the image quality on the head. In general, I shoot from the folded monopod, using it as a long handle, much in the same way that a steadycam would be used. One of the features is that the "handle" can be turned to any angle because it is attached to the ball at the top of the monopod. Once, a year ago, this is after a year of intensive use, I grab the camera from the table, put the strap in my right hand, grab the monopod with my left hand, lift the camera with my right hand, and then the strap breaks. This happened during the next wedding. The camera begins to tumble, and although I make a valiant effort to keep it from hitting the ground by holding onto the left monopod, and it would appear that I am successful in this endeavor, the camera still manages to land on the stool. That wraps it up! I sent it in to be repaired, and after two weeks they called me from there to tell me that the camera had been repaired, as well as the strap, at a cost of around 1,400. I did some research on the internet, and I discovered that the price of 3000 mAh in my native Panasovsky is over 5,000! Nevertheless, I was able to find it! At the auction with the Hammer! I originally paid 900 dollars for it, but now I only need to spend 500.

Pros
  • Quite easy on the hands thanks to its light weight, manageable size, and compact form. The manual settings and the two different levels of the stabilizer are fantastic features. Pseudo-wide lens. Instantaneous incorporation of the recording is possible thanks to the presence of a Pre-rec mode and a diode illumination bulb.
Cons
  • There are no photographs included, despite the fact that the camera has a resolution of 5 mega pixels and an integrated flash that can be customized; yet, why would a camcorder require quality photographs? Due to the high cost of the batteries, which are related in nature, you will need to purchase an additional charger (also very expensive)
