Mac Users!! NO WORRIES! [Posted on 2008-03-15]
I looked at a lot of cameras before settling on this one. Then I read the customer reviews here, and got very concerned by the Mac Users warning. After doing a bit of research, however, I discovered that it's very easy to export files from the Everio format to both iMovie and Final Cut. Conversion software is free from squared5.com, and converts to every format I could possibly need.
After working with this camera for afew days, I am SO GLAD I bought this one! The features are seemingly limitless. I can do everything I had hoped to do (or needed to do for my web design business) and more, more, more.
I'm looking forward to getting creative with this....very affordable, and very easy to use camera.
Satisfied, thoroughly [Posted on 2008-03-24]
I can not say I haven't had anything other than a pleasurable experience with this camera.
It takes not only great videos, but also great pictures. It picks up color so well. My digital camera has a higher resolution than this video camera, yet this video camera takes much better pictures.
The only pit is learning on all the functions, and figuring them out. A little complicated, and I'm a tech nut. Thats why I gave it 4.
Buy an extra battery (as goes with every camera).
I give this product an A.
Video good, software is non-user friendlyand awkward. [Posted on 2008-03-26]
Video is not particularly bright when using indoors. Software is ridiculously confusing. Will not let you download and use your own burning software, must use theirs.
Light weight and fairly easy to use. Handle/button placement does not allow easy use with right hand.
Camcorder Is Off The Hook [Posted on 2008-05-27]
I bought is camcorder about about two months ago. I used it at eight events day and night time shooting and the videos came out great. I also shoot photos at a wedding, I loaded the photos on my computer. The prints were like a pro.
Save Yourself the TROUBLE! [Posted on 2008-06-01]
I recently just got this camera and boy is it frusterating! Now don't get me wrong the video quality is just pure excellence compared to the last camera I used. Another pro is the night alive feature which allows you to turn on a light built in the camera if necessary. Now with the cons. The camera files are saved as MOV files which are basically basically mpeg files, but none of my computer editing software can recognize it, including Windows Movie Maker and Sony Vegas Pro. I have wasted nothing, but precious time to solve this, but none of the solutions I've found appeal to me. I don't want to lose any quality and only want to edit the files directly through the programs I have (without converting)and not use the poor editing software it came with. Shame! with it's price tag it should be able to do the basic function what my previous $80 camera was capable of doing.
