Customer Reviews


So far so good.
I've had this camera for 2 months now and am very happy with it. It's easy to use, the picture is (obviously) great and it takes very nice still photos which allows me to take only one camera along most of the time. Would advise against getting the built in memory as the price of SD cards drops quickly. Only possible complaint would be the battery which only lasts about an hour. Would also be nice to have a viewfinder since the screen can be hard to see in bright light. Not a deal breaker though by any means. Easily compatible with a mac.


Simply put... great camera
I've had this camera for a few weeks now and I am in love with it. I'm a film student and wanted to buy a camera that i=I can shoot great quality shots with but I didn't want to have to pay 2 or 3 grand for an entry level professional grade camera. I had been looking at the 2009 model of this camera for a while and was just about to buy it when this one came out. Boy am I glad I did. Even though it's essentially the same camera, the things that are added to this model and the lower price was what made me buy it the week it came out.

Ok now that I've explained the reasoning for me buying the camera, i'll get to the quality of it. The picture on it is simply amazing, especially when shooting in cinema mode native 24p. The touch screen is awesome and allows for a larger screen by eliminating the need for physical buttons. The dual SD card capabilities are great as well.

The only "bad" part of this camera is that to be able to edit AVCHD footage that is shot in native 24p you have to have a video program that can handle it, free programs like iMovie and Windows Movie Maker won't process it. You'll have to go with programs like Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere to be able to edit this footage.

But despite that minor con this camera is amazing. It's great price for the quality of video you get.


Best HD Camcorder ever!
This is the best camcorder I have ever owned. The videos are clean and stunning. It also lets you take pictures and the pictures I've taken with it are much better than pictures I have taken with my regular digital camera.. I would definitely recommend this to everyone. It's pretty expensive, but worth it.


Great Camera!
Easy to use and great looking footage! Really sets videos apart on a lower budget.
