Pros - Good display
- cheapest shoulder mounted HD camcorder to date
-lots of connection options
Cons - Image characteristics can not be changed
- few image control options
- somewhat outdated technique
- almost no manual control elements
- no XLR
Conclusion The high resolution of its 3D images is a real novelty in this price range.In automatic mode, beautiful 3D images can be made quickly and easily.Manual control, however, is scarce.For training purposes the HD1000 is not very suitable, since it isn`t operated in the same way as pro-cams.For a professional handling you`ll need many control elements on the camera body, and those are lacking on the HD1000.But compared with other current top consumer cams, many things actually can be controlled manually, a fact that might make this camera interesting to some buyers.If Sony had included the chips and the display used on the SR11/12, many more customers might have taken interest in this model, not least due to the manual shutter control.But now what you`ll get is middle-rate (but not bad!) image quality in a price range where not many cameras are to be found.Those looking for an cheap shoulder cam -- even if it`s only to look more professional to customers -- will not find anything less expensive in HD.
