Date of Review:  Jul 7, 2004
The Bottom Line: This is a fine camcorder for serious consumers and event videographers. Its low-light performance is unusually good in this class of camcorder.
Review: I have previously reviewed Sony's smallest, 3-CCD professional camcorders, including the current DSR-PDX10. I found these to be perfectly competent models that could easily be mistaken for consumer camcorders, even as they shoot with three-chip...

No Better Camcorder in this Price Range.

Date of Review:  Oct 29, 2005
The Bottom Line: If you want professional quality video in a lightweight package - this is it.
Review: I'm a military journalist and had the pleasure of dragging one of these cameras around Iraq for a year. It sure beats the old Sony Beta camera that I had before.

It's light weight made it easy to pack along on missions to An Najaf, Sadr...
