Customer Review: Great For a Hobbyist Like Me
Summary: 5 Stars
This is actually a teen's review. I got this camcorder just over eight months ago and I love it! I'm a hobbyist videoer, so it's wonderful! The battery life is okay(two hours), but I have the biggest one available on order right now.JVC BN-VF823U 2190-mAh Rechargeable Data Battery for JVC MiniDV and Everio Camcorders It's a little pricey, but worth it.
Okay, back to the camcorder. The software is lame. Once you've imported your video into their software you can't use it in any other editing programs. The quality goes way downhill, and it doesn't fill the whole frame. All their software does is edit it and throw it onto a DVD with a VERY simple menu. No titles, no transitions, nothing fun. The only title is on the menu. It also pauses at the end of each video clip, so it doesn't look smooth and polished. Windows Movie Maker works, but as a more serious video hobbyist I use Corel VideoStudio ProX3.Corel VideoStudio Pro X3 JUST MAKE SURE TO IMPORT IT WITH YOUR EDITING SOFTWARE, NOT THE SOFTWARE PROVIDED WITH THE CAMERA!!!!!! Some reviewers say that a drawback is that it records in only .MOD format, but I haven't run into any problems with that. I haven't tried the HDMI output, but it only goes up to 480p. As for the zoom, I never use the Laser Touch zoom, I use the toggle on the top. It has 35x optical zoom, which is VERY nice. (I never use the Dynamic zoom) I like the fact that the lens cover is automatic, and that all you have to do to turn the camcorder on is open the LCD cavity. The Laser Touch is nice. I like it LOTS better than Sony's touch screen. One downside is that the Laser Touch record button makes it seem like you're recording when you're actually not.
The only big stinker (besides the software) on this camcorder is the still photo. They are always grainy. But this is not a digital camera, nor did I buy it for that. A separate digital camera is always better.
In closing, this is a great little camera for recording events, and it's probably the best camcorder you can get without going hd. I use it a lot.
Thanks for reading this review!
