Great video, Great camera
(Ersatz07 - 4/26/07)This camera is fantastic. The video it produces rivals stuff I see on TV. It makes me want to become a better videographer because the picture is so beautiful.
As far as the audio goes, when I first bought this camera I noticed a VERY annoying sound every time I filmed anything. It was coming from the tape mechanism while it was recording. It was definitely going to be a deal breaker for me, but fortunately before I returned I figured that it might just be that the camera is new and needed to be run for more than 10 minutes. So I rewound and fast forwarded the tape a couple times so the mechanism would get a little use and now the sound is completely gone.
