Pros + Best image quality is at the limit of FullHD
+ Many manual controls
+ Many manual controls
+ Adjustable ISO modi
+ USB memory stick can be connected directly for archiving purposes
Cons - fiddly operation
- too small wide-angle
- No Zebra
- Manual focus very poor
- Automatic mode
- Image stabilisation
- resolution
- handling
- wide angle
- 60Hz modi only
Conclusion In this price class currently no rival offers better image quality and more controlsHowever, compromises must be made in terms of wide angle and in the handling, especially the focussing.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.
