Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Tiny little gem Comment: I have had my eye on this camcorder for a while now and after reading countless reviews etc i decided to take the plunge! All in all im very pleased with it! its tiny! i was very suprised when i opened the box. Build quality is good and i got it the brown colour which looks really nice. The quality is very good in good light and blows my old DV camcorder out the water! As for low light, i was expecting it to be bad after reading the reviews. But in all seriousness it is no worse than my old panasonic DV camera. All you have to do it choose the iso yourself and there will be little noise (i suggest iso 200 max) Im only 20 so i dont want to be hauling a huge camcorder around when going abroad or taking my cam to the beach etc so this is perfect and it takes good quality stills to boot! There are lots of accessories in the box aswell. Only thing is make sure you have a good spec computer if you plan on editing the video from the camera because the mp4 codec needs alot of processor power. My laptop can just about handle it but ive run into problems with the preview on my editing program being jumpy. So be careful. So get this cam if u want a convenient camcorder that takes good quality video and stills in a small package you can take anywhere! Customer Rating: Summary: Sanyo Xacti HD700 Comment: I have just bought this camera and so far I have been pleased with my purchase. The mixture of a 7 mega-pixel camera and a high definition video camera in one small form factor is just what i was looking for. It should be said though that I do not see this as my main camera, rather as something I can carry in my pocket while I'm out and about and don't want to lug all my gear with me. For taking stills it is more than adequate with 7 mega-pixels and built in flash. It has several profiles for different environments,(portrait, fireworks, night-shooting, sports). It has automatic or manual exposure and focus and it also has a face tracking feature that I have not tried yet. As a Video camera it can record at up to 720p which in bright light gives fantastic quality. It does suffer however from having a quite small lens so low light situations become a bit of a problem. I have noticed that in very low light it automatically bumps the ISO up and this gives a quite blocky picture which is a shame as in strong light the picture quality is fantastic. The ISO can be set manually to reduce this effect though. The other problem in low light is that the automatic focus tends to hunt a lot to get a fix. Switching to manual focus helps and this is controlled by the little joystick that is naturally under your thumb as you hold the camera, so it is not that fiddly. This camera is not going to replace my SLR or my DV camera, but that is not the point. I can slip this in my pocket without really noticing it and can take stills or video whenever I like without having to lug a big camera bag around. Customer Rating: Summary: It Works Comment: It works but thats about all I can say about it. If you are using it to video very slow moving objects in very bright light then you should be OK. I suggest you save up an extra £300 and buy something that you'll be pleased with. More Reviews
