Looking for a compact but powerful audio / video recorder for music recordings I have also gained this part by an Olympus device and the Sony HDR-MV1. Compared to the - cheaper - Sony, it is better and more practical features (eg swiveling touch screen, manual modulation of the sound by rotating wheel etc.), and the recording quality is lt Foundation better Warentest (but is also the Sony well, and the sound quality can. be increased by external mics in both). However, the angle of the Canon is still larger than the Sony, so that, unlike the Sony results in a fisheye effect with the corresponding distortions. Although you can select a section to get closer to the subject. But that image is then of much poorer quality. Ergo: When image Canon needed rectifying. Then (but only then), the device would be great!
