Pros + Many manual controls
+ Adjustable ISO modi
+ USB memory stick can be connected directly for archiving purposes
 
Cons - Automatic mode
- Image stabilisation
- resolution
- handling
- wide angle
- 60Hz modi only
 
Conclusion While the cam tops ultra-cheap cams from Flip or Aiptec, the real competition is from above.Because meanwhile there are cheap older models for around 500 Euro from Panasonic, JVC, Sony and Canon.To get our recommendation the HD2000 must have been cheaper or better.In its current form, the unique 60p-mode is not enough for a succesfull sales pitch. And a 50Hz-mode in europe would be very adviseable.
