Pros + Sharpness and colour at the upper AVCHD limit
+ Many manual controls
+ guter Bildstabilisator für bewegte Kamera
 
Cons - weak wide angle
 
Conclusion The new image stabilizer is better and especially interesting for people who like cheap glide camsIm Lowlight wird die Kamera nach wie vor von der Sony XR520 leicht geschlagen und der Weitwinkel bleibt in dieser Preisklasse ein Trauerspiel. Ansonsten gibt es an der HDC-TM350 allerdings wirklich kaum etwas auszusetzen. Außer vielleicht, dass man fast die selbe Technik ohne internen Speicher und verbesserten Bildstabilisator mit der HDC-SD300 deutlich günstiger bekommen kann.No focus ring, no manual controls, no viewfinder, no audio connections, and crippled manual values are inaccessibly hidden in colorful menus.Analog output is NTSC-only, and a new video format is used that is even worse to edit than AVCHD.The sharpness is achieved through extreme contourCompared to Sony, Panasonic and Canon the codec shows even more artifacts.
