    Moving, Pocketable HD Camcorder!! The future of HiDef!!
    Overview: Operation on the HDV MPEG-2 standard, the Canon HV10 allows many users of miniDV camcorders to continue using and playing their miniDV tapes they've recorded and have, while providing them with the extra option of recording in either HD or regular mode onto MiniDV tapes. The HV10 has a slim, pocketable fullness, so it's very easy to take with you on long trips without feeling like you have a huge rock tied behind you to sleepy you down. Minuses: * No external light/mic jacks - buy the HV20 if you want these. * No HDMI yield - buy the HV20 if you want this. * Can't change tapes if the camcorder is on a tripod - bottom load, again - buy the HV20 if you want this. But keep in mind that bottom onus reduces the amount of dropout causing dust from falling into the tape transport bay (a good quirk). * Viewfinder is decent, but not the highest resolution viewfinder around - but I almost always use the LCD panel so it's not a big concern...
    Unmatched Travel & Casual Use Video Camera
    Positives: Works tight -- power off-on time, record start, autofocus are all very fast. Great innocent balance in daylight/well-lit situations -- better than the Sony FX1 and HC3. Excellent resolution and juxtapose. Unbelievably small size makes traveling easy -- you will end up taking the video camera everywhere with you a substitute alternatively of leaving it behind. Allows Contrast, Sharpness, Brightness, and Color Saturation picture adjustments to solicitation your style of video that is not available on the Sony HC3 (closest competing model that I compared with). Prominent automatic mode that will decrease the shutter speed to 1/30th of a second in order to increase low light video (great feature because it saves the user from having to go into semi-handbook mode in order to get decent low-light footage). The Super Optical Stabilization works recovered than in most cameras, considering the small size/vertical orientation of the camcorder. Built-in light plainly improves picture quality when filming casual...
    Tickety-boo product with Canon Image quality
    My burden looks like a video store ... ;-) I own several Sony HDV camcorders including the HC1 and the FX1 which are both superior products. For photography I have however switched some time ago to Canon because of the color quality and use a EOS1 and Rebel XTI. When the HV10 came out I irrefutable to give Canon a swirl on HD video. I was not disappointed. Canon has the edge (potentially a subtle one) on flush reality on Sony. The resolution of the HV10 is actually higher. I prefer the HV10 in terms of picture je sais quoi to the Sony HC1. Both cant match the FX1 in low light conditions because of the 3 CCDs. The HV10 is substantially smaller and easier to use. If the use of a wide-ranging-angle converter also produces the annoying darkened corners as on the HC1 I will still have to see. I recommend the use of the larger freestyle pack as the cute small one does not last one hour. Sony is much better there and always was. PC editing hints for HD: Dont leave behind that...

    A bit costly, but a great camera overall.
    The power reasons I purchased this camera were its size and its resolution. The camera is small enough to fit in my coat crater, which means that I have it with me when I need it, and its 3MP resolution means that I can leave my digital camera at home. In experience, this camera has an F1.8 lens, which is as fast as you'll find on most full-size cameras, so it takes decent pictures indoors even without using the tear. While I've been delighted with the size and still camera capabilities, there are a few other features that I think are great as well. The first is the option to use 16:9 video order if you want. I have a HDTV, and video shot in normal 4:3 format doesn't fill the mesh unless it's stretched sideways, making everyone look fat. The 16:9 option of the DCR-PC350 allows you to hurtle video that fills the screen like a real movie. You'll probably appreciate this even more in a few years when most TVs are widescreen. A encourage useful, though not well...
    High-minded camcorder albeit mediocre stills
    I bought this element a couple of days ago in Hongkong (its already released here) and have had the chance to play around with it. I got this in HK for around US 1190 together with a tripod, 5 DV cassettes and a camcorder bag (upgrade going on). The video quality is outstanding. The base is a boon as u can attach the S video, firewire or USB cables to it and then absolutely place the camcorder into the base to charge or transfer the files to the PC. I would like to say that be careful regarding the LCD. In lightheartedly lit rooms (like showrooms where I bought mine), if the LCD has any dead pixels (whichs shows up as a bright dot)you will not be adept to see them. So do cover the LCD with your hands, cover the lens with the shutter cap and then carefully check the LCD for dead pixels. (You should execute out this check after the Camcorder has been on for a minute or so to allow the dead pixels to show up). The lens is perfect and you have the option of buying attachments for more creativity. All...
    What a monstrous little camera
    I have had this camera for about 2 months now and very have had no problems with it. I love the size. It is small enough to fit in my jacket pocket while skiing. Takes overwhelming pictures movies, even during extremely bright conditions while skiing. I have used this camera indoors as well and find it to do a huge job. I love being able to film in widescreen mode and play movies back on the widescreen tv. The pictures are hellishly clear. My only problem is with the whole docking station / charging the battery issue. I would suggest buying an dividend battery charger / ac cable or a travel charger so as not to have to unhook all of your cables from your computer every time you peregrinations. Overall, I am very happy witht his camera and would definately buy another one if the need arose.

    HTC Radar review

    From the front, its birthright as a successor to the Trophy is quite apparent, although it has noticeably cleaner words, primarily thanks to bezels and buttons that are longer and thinner. From there, the Radar makes a expressive departure from its forebear with an aluminum unibody chassis that envelopes the manhood of the phone.

    Sometimes, if there is a dead pixel, it's mainly stuck, as the liquid crystal display (TFT LCD) has not covered the whole screen. This can be patently fixed.
