Surprisingly nice!
Look, this thing feels cheap. It's lightweight and plasticky feeling. It looks a lot like a really old VHS tape camcorder. It feels like a toy.
BUT... I'll be dipped if this thing doesn't shoot some fine video! It's really crisp and vibrant stuff! I shoot professional MMA cage matches. I use multiple cameras. The light weight of this thing turned out to be a blessing as I sometimes need to hold this camera way out, with fully extended arms to be able to capture some of my over-the-top-of-the-cage shots. I still get a full-body workout, but thank god it's not as heavy as a more expensive camera of the same size.
It's not the greatest in low light situations, but really, what digital video camera is that doesn't cost half an arm? I've never seen one with stellar low-light performance.
Also, it tends to go slightly out of focus when using the maximum zoom speed. I mean, if you were zoomed way in and wanted to zoom out as fast as possible, you will notice...
Solid but lacking
I don't know what that other guy was saying but this camera feels solid and looks just like Sony's high end line of pro cameras. This is NOT the same as Panasonics puffed plastic cameras (dvc-7 dvc-15)
This camera was designed by Sony's broadcast unit not it's consumer unit.
The image quality is great, I didn't believe that 1 CMOS could look this good compared to a 3ccd setup but it is.
The down sides are that allot of the controls are in the touch screen menu, which makes it a pain till you get used to using the "manual button" to quickly switch controls over to the ring. Once you get used to controlling your settings with the ring, it really starts to feel great. The other bad thing is that it does not have XLR so you have to get a beachtek box or something.
For the money you can't beat this camera, clients love seeing you walk in with a big pro looking camera and not some tiny little handycam. The shoulder mount really helps get you...
