Review on Panasonic SDR S26 SD Camcorder Blue by Hideo Ebara ᠌
Poor quality, not suitable for use.
The case ended up taking it back to the store, where (honor and praise to the staff!) Despite the passage of almost a month, I exchanged it for a Canon LEGRIA HF R16 (with an additional charge, of course. Although the money had to be re-borrowed). Well, I won’t write about it - things are incomparable by any criteria . Probably, after all, with a strong desire to purchase a camera, you should not rush to cheap models - "disappointment from low quality lasts longer than joy from a low price" (C). Take FullHD, on credit or having saved up money - it will be a good investment.
Pros
- optical stabilizer. Well, that's all, I guess. Although, perhaps, my requests for a camera of this price category were somewhat overstated .
Cons
- Let's start here. I'll try to keep the cost in mind while describing it. To say that the quality of the video is "not a fountain" is to say nothing . Even shooting from a tripod did not bring anything worthwhile. The maximum that it is suitable for is shooting clips for youtube. Until recently, it seemed to me that a camcorder, even of the most budgetary range, should have a normal (in normal sharpness and without pixelation) quality for a 19 "monitor . But no. The resolution is 640x480, at which at least something can be disassembled - this is a small rectangle on the monitor, which is unlikely to suit anyone. I don’t think that in the future you will want to watch your family video archive like that. Further. Ergonomics. In pursuit of compactness, we got a not very convenient device. Well, maybe the control buttons will be convenient for the female hand, but I hardly reached out, twisting my fingers. Manipulations with the adjustment of the strap were also unsuccessful. The software that comes with it for video processing (although what is there to process?) is a firebox. Well, I also didn’t like the manual opening of the lens (maybe out of habit?) - you constantly forget. And when the camera reminds - "everything tasty will already be eaten;)
