Excellent DV Camcorder (Mac OS X User)

Date of Review:  Oct 1, 2003
The Bottom Line: For those wanting a Mac compatible, with potentially near 3CCD quality camcorder in a fairly compact unit, one cannot go wrong with the optura xi.
Review: This is the first video camcorder I have ever owned which I've been using for about 2 months. Thus, I can't give much input in terms of personal comparisons to other camcorders currently out. However, I have extensively researched DV camcorders over...

Date of Review:  Mar 5, 2004
The Bottom Line: Good bang for the buck. It's not often I buy something the equals the hype.
Review: I did a lot of research on the web before settling on this video camera. It's lived up to all expectations. As for low light scenarios? Well, you can buy a Sony with its infrared, but it doesn't have much range, and everything is sort of greenish...
