Great Buy

This is a great camera depending on your needs. No it's not a professional camera but if you use it for events, weddings, documentries, parties and the same you can't go wrong. As for as price you can't beat the price for it's range. The controls are easy to access and work. If you don't have any video camera exsperience then it may seem a little intimidating and you might try a smaller camera instead. But if you do have prior knowledge of video cameras then you will have fun with this camera right out of the box. Remember you get what you pay for and some cameras are cheaper and some are more exspensive. Don't buy a $1500.00 camera and expect it to perform and have all the features of a $10.000.00 camera the reason I say this is because I always read about some customers complaining about what was'nt on the camera after they got it home. READ THE SPECS and you won't be so-called surprised.

"High quality video...even in low-light"

Shooting from the shoulder provides stability & is sufficiently comfortable for long durations. I purchased this camcorder after much research & experience with other cameras...I don't think you can beat the value.

Outstanding for the price. Looks very professional. Full 1080i support. A lot of settings to choose from.

The Sony HVR-HD1000U is an HDV camcorder specifically designed for videographers looking for an affordable shoulder-mounted camera. Ideal for event work and wedding videography, the camera is equipped with a ClearVid CMOS sensor, capable of recording 1080i high definition footage on a standard MiniDV tape.

Additionally, the HVR-HD1000U comes fitted with a 10x Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar lens with Super SteadyShot image stabilization, ensuring operators get the perfect shot every time. These features make the HVR-HD1000U a welcome addition to the already proven line of Sony professional HDV products.

Sony HVR-HD1000U Digital HDV 1080 Handycam Camcorder - (6150 Hours) SKU#1556513 Features

  • Professional Shoulder-Mounted Design: To meet the widening demand of event videography such as weddings and concerts, the HVR-HD1000U comes in a shoulder-mounted design, without carrying the large price tag of traditional ENG cameras
  • Super SteadyShot Image Stabilization: The HVR-HD1000U comes fitted with a highly sophisticated optical stabilization system, making sure users get glass smooth shots even in less-than-ideal situations
  • High Definition on MiniDV Tapes with HDV: The HDV format, used in the HVR-HD1000U allows high definition recording on standard MiniDV tapes. This is accomplished by using the very popular MPEG-2 compression technique used in many applications, including DVDs and satellite television
  • ClearVID CMOS Technology: Sony's ClearVID sensor is positioned at a 45° angle. Since each pixel is positioned at this angle the result is far clearer diagonal lines. Images will appear crisper, without the apparent "jaggies" that often plague video signals
