Great model at its time
8 of 9 people found this review helpful.
I own this camcorder since a long time now and I am mostly satisfied with it. Nevertheless, I have to warn you about following problems I discovered:
- When you record a video in a quiet environment, you will be able, when you play what you recorded, to hear the motor noise of the DV cassete deck on the tape,
- it is not efficient in low light environments,
- it does not react fast enough in focus changes particularly in low light environments,
- it is too heavy for a helmet if you practice skydiving (I know that it does not concern a lot of people but...).
Today I am looking to replace it just because I am tired of models including a cassete deck and because it is not HD compliant. I have to say that it is not easy but new models are coming working with memory cards or SSD disks. I will have to wait still a little bit before to change my good old DCR-PC100.
