Is important to define the category of this camera, to have a real evaluation.High definition videocameras are still in the first generation. All products , DVD, DVD recorders, even VHS, etc.. in the firts wave that hit the consummer had many flaws.
After the second generation we have a better quality in ALL products.
Now All HD portable devices are not full quality products.
I have purchsed this item knowing that HD cameras are very bad for indoors, otherwise is the quality in exteriors.
So if you mostly use video for inside the house, forget High Definition, a standard camera will be better.
This Hitachi was overpriced , about $1,600.00
Now in some places is in a third of the original price. So is reaching equilibrium in cost- benefit.
CONS.
1. First it was the price, wich now is going down.
2. The category of HD is still in baby steps. We have to wait to get a reasonable price for camera that has good quality in outdoors and indorrs, and also a easy processing in the transfer.
3. If you dont have Blue ray player is not for you. The transfer for different media requires patience
PROS
1. The design calls for attention.
2. The handling is easy than other videocameras , that have so many buttons and options on the video and stills , that instead of helping only makes taking pictures more complicated.
3. With the manual controls , we can skip the major problem of the HD videocamera category , bad indoor quality.
4. The best feature is the processing of store the video/stills . For me to transfer form Blue Ray recording to my Blue ray player is just play the disc. In other models , the software to transfer to the computer is much more complicated.
5.The sound and flash are fair.
Conclusion.
If you Have Blue Ray Player
If you will shoot outdoors mostly
This camera is for you.
