Title: pixel mosaic happens :(
Product review: A significant $100 rebate encouraged me to buy this video camera at a price I had recently paid for a plain digital camera. Unfortunately I experienced problems similar to other negative reviewers. When playing the recorded material, the picture sometimes turned to a large-pixel-mosaic. I admit it happend only once with a brand new TDK tape, after this I bought another tape, this time a Sony, and problems did not repeat. Nevertheless I lost very important 30 minutes of an event I was filming, so I can't be positive about the unreliable camera andI doubt the tape was to blame since other users complained about the same.Another thing is the overall quality of the picture, which is not better than of my analog Canon videocam. I did not look at the pixel resolution but it is not high, which explains the low price.And the last small complaint is about ergonomics of the controls, some keys are not well placed, especially the cateye one, which is easy to accidentally switch on.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
