 Very Good camera August 18, 2009
Victor Ruben (Mexico , DF)
Is important to define the category of this camera, to have a real evaluation.
High definition videocameras are still in the first generation. All products , DVD, DVD recorders, even VHS, etc.. in the firts wave that hit the consummer had many flaws.
After the second generation we have a better quality in ALL products.
Now All HD portable devices are not full quality products.
I have purchsed this item knowing that HD cameras are very bad for indoors, otherwise is the quality in exteriors.
So if you mostly use video for inside the house, forget High Definition, a standard camera will be better.
This Hitachi was overpriced , about $1,600.00
Now in some places is in a third of the original price. So is reaching equilibrium in cost- benefit.
CONS.
1. First it was the price, wich now is going down.
2. The category of HD is still in baby steps. We have to wait to get a reasonable price for camera that has good quality in outdoors and indorrs, and also a easy processing in the transfer.
3. If you dont have Blue ray player is not for you. The transfer for different media requires patience
PROS
1. The design calls for attention.
2. The handling is easy than other videocameras , that have so many buttons and options on the video and stills , that instead of helping only makes taking pictures more complicated.
3. With the manual controls , we can skip the major problem of the HD videocamera category , bad indoor quality.
4. The best feature is the processing of store the video/stills . For me to transfer form Blue Ray recording to my Blue ray player is just play the disc. In other models , the software to transfer to the computer is much more complicated.
5.The sound and flash are fair.
Conclusion.
If you Have Blue Ray Player
If you will shoot outdoors mostly
This camera is for you.
 Not a high definition camera December 1, 2007

1. The quality of the recording in anything other than bright daylight is abysmal and cannot be called high definition. It seems to have lines throughout the image, as if there was some kind of interference/static.
2. The camera takes an eternity to focus on the desired object; a blurry image appears instead. That is especially true when the camera is turned on and when using the zoom.
3. The manual says that by pressing the button "BLC" when filming someone indoors against bright light will fix the darkness problem, but it doesn't work (the person filmed is still completely dark, and the person's face can't even be seen).
Overall, the camera does NOT seem to be functioning as a high definition - full HD - quality camera. My 1080i Sony Camcorder that was bought over one year ago has much better image quality.
Poor image quality indoors November 23, 2007

I was extremely excited to buy this camera as it held a lot of promise. I waited months for it to become available. My disappointment with its performance was immediate. Very poor image quality indoors, and almost impossible to operate in low light. I quickly returned the camera and will try others.
Terrible purchase November 7, 2007

As a first in any product, you might expect flaws, but this one is fatally flawed.
Video quality is poor. Very poor. I recommend looking elsewhere for much cheaper. This product is not worth your money.
Look at Sony or Panasonic.
