 domosis.'s recommendation | |
Small compact and stylish design. Shutter, exposure and white balance can be manually set. Fully automatic if needed.
Has analog to digital pass through.
Very bad in low light conditions.....image becomes highly pixilated and muddy. My one month old unit developed an audio fault and had to be fixed under warranty.
I would highly recommend the Canon MV5i MC to people who want a very small and capable video camera for accasional video taking in daylight.
DO NOT buy this camera if your video taking is indoors or in low light as you will be disappointed. It does have low light and night mode but accompanied with the lower shutter speed the image is jerky and not "natural" looking. Sony units are in general much much better for these conditions in my experience (I also own a Sony TRV16E unit).
Good unit for converting analogue video to digital as you can pass thru the video direct to digital (to computer) without first recording to tape.
