Title: Half the quality of a MiniDV
Product review: The only advantage this camcorder has it size/media. That is it.While it has a 30gb HDD, which is certainly very convienent, the highest quality setting uses half of the bitrate of what a minidv would use. In addition, the artifacting is multiplied in lowlight conditions.You can use a USB cable to transfer the videos to your computer, to edit them.. but you have to use their software, or you will lose the audio. (What is wrong with just using MPG files?)Bottom line is:It's quite obvious that a HDD in a Camcorder is the way to go. But not until the video quality is comparable to what is out there now.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
