Pros: Native 16:9, there is a changeable lens, it has a pro look, it's very sleek and an amazing product. It is extremely professional, and was even used to film 28 Days Later, among other things.
Cons: It looks a bit like an alien, it's weight can be a bit annoying sometimes, and it only takes SD cards.
Overall: Definitely a great camera especially if you like to record indoors, but not as ideal for outdoors, so if that's what you're after then look elsewhere. It has lots of features and even though it is a bit costly, it's a fantastic product. :)
Overall: Not perfect, but the best miniDV camera ever made, and with the advent of HD(V) will remain the best. Currently still being manufactured, and now available at prices competitive with top range consumer videocams.
Overall: Overall this cam is exactly what I wanted. I can do some really professional stuff. Just remember that this Camera was used in 28 Days Later just to mention one of many film .
Pros: Nice Pro Design and has good expandability. Nice audio ports. With its interchangeable lens its really amazing also its stability features is impressive. Amazing picture Quality with several upgrades from its older brother and great inputs added and great new lens.
Cons: Not so Good quality on image can had a lesser value for money.
Overall: All in all this is a piece of device you want to have if you prefer a more professional look and a professional quality on you videos, but considering its price this is expensive but also considering its capabilities to take awesome pictures and added features this is just a bit off its mark. but if your not bothered by its pricey aspect this one is for you!
