Mini Review :
1. Good built quality and ease of use.
2. Very good video quality. The HD video when playback on the HDTV
is very crisp with clarity and beautiful colors.
3. While taking video movie it is easy to switch to still picture taking.
It is very convenient to record on HDD (60 GB) or memory stick duo
that you can take it out and play with PC anywhere.
4. Quality of still pictures (10.2 megapixels) is quite good. However,
the wide angle capability is just not sufficient and it is recommended
that the Wide Conversion Lens VCL-HG0737C be used. The effect of
using wide angle lens is shown here.
5. Tele Conversion Lens is another useful accessory which not only
magnify the images but due to their shallow depth of field makes them
useful in eliminating unwanted foreground and background objects by
simply putting them out of focus. Thus the images looks much more
pleasant and natural. The VCL-HG1737C lens is of high grade quality
and produces beautiful pictures.
