But for now I have the Sony HDR-PJ810 Camcorder Premium, which comes in a small, simple box into the house. This is still, in addition to the camcorder a manual that is written in 6 languages, a charger and an HDMI cable. The manual in a handy format C6 is very detailed, only those that are instructions in German can be found on 34 pages. Furthermore, a small remote control case, the one lets you control the camera or playback with selbiger.
The camcorder
is very handy and compact with just under 460g and a size of 13.4 x 6.8 x 7.2cm. So it fits easily into a small bag and also make longer recordings now no more trouble. Thanks to the wrist strap it can be stated also safe. In this way, a USB cable is stowed, which allows you to charge the camcorder.
The controls are arranged so that you can operate well with a (small women) hand the buttons too. Whether photo, movie recording or zoom: all buttons are within easy reach and so to use.
The workmanship is very high quality: The plastic parts are precisely and the gap dimensions are perfect. In addition, some parts are covered with a kind of artificial leather or textured plastic, so that the camera is a bit slippery and thereby cuts a fine figure, namely chic, understated and simple looks.
The 7.5 inches wide LED touch display impresses with 921,000 pixels and can be swiveled in all directions. There is little pressure to use and the menu items are intuitively accessible. In addition, various settings can be the shooting, or make and also play videos in short: The display is the centerpiece of the camcorder. In addition, the projector is mounted here, the projected up to 50 lumens and 200 inches, the video on the wall. The appropriate size and focus is adjusted with a small slider, which is mounted above the display.
But the look is not all packed into this small compact camcorder much more:
With 32GB of internal storage you do not need an SD card so quickly. Should the court nevertheless times are tight, so the camcorder can be upgraded with up to 64GB.
The 26.8-mm-G-wide-angle lens is equipped with an optical 12x zoom. Who wants to turn even closer, the need to resort to the 24 times digital zoom and it receives under optimal light conditions even more crisp shots. And it should go times a little bumpy, so similar to the Balanced Optical SteadyShot up to 13 times better all wobbles as if conventional image stabilizer. Blurred images a thing of the past, like myself while trying to film a hoppelndes and hook beating rabbit, found out. Overall, the image quality is very good and playback, even with the built-in projector outstanding!
The Exmor R CMOS sensor enables very good shots, even in low light. But here you really have to be careful: A noise is always visible at about dark places, unfortunately.
A noise can be heard even when audio recordings, especially when the filmed is a bit further away, or the environment is very quiet. Yet all Filmed and said this is so far been very evident during playback.
I especially like the way throughout the film to take a photo: A gentle pressure on the corresponding button is enough and the filmed scene is also a photo in 16: 9 held with over 24 million pixels. There is also the possibility only to take pictures, and you have the option between 4: 9 to choose (up to 24 million pixels) in each 3 different qualities: 3 (up to 18 million pixels) and 16. The photos are, in my opinion, a classic digital camera in every way. You can even set a so-called Lächelmodus, so getting a picture is taken when the one who stands in front of the lens, laughs.
In the settings for the video function you have the possibility to choose between different recording modes: In addition to the automatic mode there is a night setting, one for low sun, for shots in the snow, for a fireworks recording, landscapes, portraits or beach. You can still choose between Video, Photo, slow motion or a so-called Gulf view on the shortcut so it is perfectly equipped to rotate about a great video or take a picture.
After inclusion, before playing
Here, too, Sony has thought of everything. In addition to the direct playback via HDMI cable to the TV, it is projected on the wall, there are several ways to send his video to the terminals.
Using the software PlayMemories at Home, which is also available as an iOS and Android app, the videos can be quickly and conveniently charge the laptop. Here you have the opportunity to edit his films, to create multi-view video and can be displayed in various views (calendar, world map). Furthermore, there is a cloud feature that simply allows all photos and videos to share on the various devices. Prerequisite here is how to install the app for iOS or Android in conjunction with the PC software.
Since the Sony premium camcorder is also equipped with WiFi and NFC, the recordings can be more easily delivered to your tablet or smartphone: Easily the connection between the two is made, transmit the data and sharing in social networks or upload to Youtube is nothing in the way.
Overall, the Sony HDR-PJ810 Premium scores as follows:
+ Delivery (understandable manual, HDMI cable, remote control)
+ Fits perfectly!
+ Light weight and handiness
+ Intuitive and interior design thanks to LCD touch panel
+ Excellent recordings
+ Balanced Optical SteadyShot - Image stabilizer
+ 24x Zoom
+ Integrated Wifi / NFC for easy sharing on Smartphones & Tablets
+ 32GB internal memory
Minor niggles, like the slight noise in the phonogram, the excellent overall result can not diminish.
The Sony camcorder convinced me easily across the board and mentioned in all respects. The intuitive operation make excellent shots are a breeze. The various possibilities to reproduce the recordings and to share the complete quality package.
