Negative Positive
Title: Nice Image, fair to poor manual focus
Review: I have this camera and have shot two down-and-dirty amateur documentaries with it. I have found the image to be excellent when compared to lesser "consumer" grade camcorders. My only real complaint with the camera is with the manual focus. It is extremely difficult to judge the manual focus using either the viewfinder or the viewing screen. While the auto-focus works very well, any shot that requires a custom close or far manual focus is VERY difficult to set up and requires an external monitor for complete confidence. For this reason, I still have to borrow a DVX100B when I do serious shoots.
Is the review positive or negative?
