by Cbulls1989 , Jul 09 '00
Pros: Steady taping, very convienent
Cons: NONE

A Great Camcorder

by jun123 , Nov 21 '00
Pros: A lot of features, great picture, affordable
Cons: Low light situations cause quite a bit of grain - can be solved with proper lighting.

It's a TRV so it has a flip out LCD TFT Active Matrix screen that measures 2.5 inches diagonally and has...

Why buy it?

by ol4u , Dec 22 '99
Pros: best resolution, good on screen statusing, stabilizer shot, remote tripod

Hi8TM XR gives you extended resolution of 440 lines TV quality. It has a luminance bandwidth for greater image detail and clarity. It has up to 20x Optical and up to 360x Digital Zoom. But the digital zoom becomes annoying beyond 50x. Included is a...
