Customer Review

Sony's new top model in the consumer camcorder class is the "HDR-PJ780" and thus solves the previous year
"HDR-PJ 740" from.
Expect that you no technical milestones in terms of advancement within a year
can should be clear, so I recommend just due to the transition to the current device when you
is already in possession of the previous model.

Nevertheless, it is understood the Sony already excellent predecessor consistently further develop and improve.
Here should be mentioned especially the image stabilizer remains unereicht in the consumer class and even
can compete with semi-pro devices.
Here Sony has really done a great job. Even recordings in motion are sharp and
smoothly displayed.

For me, the image stabilizer was also the decisive reason for purchasing the Sony camcorder.
A camcorder lives of videos on the move and especially recorded spontaneously.
For konzepierte video recordings, even picked up by a Statif, you should now better current to a
DSLR camera with video function grab that here, because of their excellent depth of field, even the
may have tend to have better image results.

But not only the image stabilizer convinced even the color reproduction is achieved.
Although Sony still has the old problem of dealing with reds, the rather oversubscribed
are presented as a whole but the colors look acceptable for my tastes.

A special highlight is the new microphone that is no longer installed in the current model in the housing,
but was placed anywhere on the camera top.
The sound recordings are thus significantly clearer and high quality.
An enclosed windscreen ensures even at windigerem Weather for optimum sound absorption.

Why put all the feature of the integrated projector, this year's Sony camcorder is me
not entirely conclusive, and for me no more than an occasional gimmick.
The "HDR-PJ780" has, as a top model of the current Sony camcorder series, the strongest projector
35 lumens and a maximum resolution of 854x480 pixels.
Why, however, the high-quality video recordings of the camera, usually in Full HD
So 1920 * 1080 pixels are added, should look on such a reduced resolution via projector,
remains for me a Rästel.
As I reach but rather to just practical solution and close the camera with an HDMI cable to a
Full HD-compatible device and to look at the video results in their full quality.
After all, for the spontaneous viewing his video footage to the projector is all. Even with
relatively bright rooms is projected clearly visible and sharp image.

Great results proves the camcorder even in low-light video.
Thanks to the larger sensor (1 / 2.88 inch), also published this year in comparison with the
"HDR-PJ650" (1 / 3.91 inch), succeed here also in low light compelling video.

Total provides the "Sony HDR-PJ780" a thoroughly enjoyable package with unrivaled in its class
Image stabilization and first-class picture and sound quality.
In addition to the internal 32GB of storage, I recommend the camcorder with a
Equip 64GB memory card to provide enough space for a full-HD recordings.
In practice, about 4-5 minutes Full HD recordings occupy about 1 GB of disk space.

Priced the Sony flagship is a bit of direct competition, such as the "Panasonic HC-X 929"
upwards, but I like much better as a result of video quality.
Those who do not necessarily need the projector and a little less money would like to spend, is also with the
Sony predecessor "HDR-PJ740" well served.
