Total score ?
(maximal 570) | 348 | 320 |
| Pros | + Very sharp
| + Acceptable wide-angle
+ Good lowlight characteristics
|
| Cons | - Colorful factory settings cannot be modified
| - No FullHD
-3CCDs with pixelshif do not result in full sharpness
- MiniDVD
|
| Conclusion | In terms of sharpness the camera operates at the resolution limit and the available manual control should also be sufficient for many ambitious filmmakers.In addition there are nice innovations such as the short 4K-recording or the automatic recording.Unfortunately the low-light performance is not quite on par with the competition and the partially extreme factory color settings can´t be modified in manual mode. | The MiniDVD as a recording medium does not strike us as particularly useful for HD , so the similar model SD1 is much more interesting. |
