I purchased this camcorder in April and I'm still very excited! I use 3D not, have nevertheless decided to use this camcorder as the 2D images for me, are as brilliant even in extensive testing, especially in this price range. Even with the automatic functions you can live very well, especially if you're amateur filmmakers. In this case, shrugs almost of enthusiasm, if you want a holiday Filmer just films and have modest requirements. 3 image sensors (ie for each primary color), correspondingly sharp images; Night shots look great as well. And a very good image stabilization was especially important to me, and this he has also. Optically and electronically to give the electronic can also disable and can only interact with the optical. We particularly liked I'm the Pre-Record function. This allows the camcorder to capture things already that are happening even before the record start. When sighted example something and waits until there something happens (a dolphin jumping out of the water: D), you can only start recording also immediately afterwards and that happened is recorded anyway. ;) Time-lapse recordings are also possible ... The Zebra overexposure warning is also quite nice. The viewfinder I hardly used ...
