What Customers Say About Sony HVR-V1U 3-CMOS 1080i Professional HDV Camcorder with 20x Optical Zoom:

Sony company do have such camera. the model of this camera is not a true as described. It is better to use ordinary camcorder. I can't recommend anyone to buy this camera. It is not worthy the monet it is costing. The model HVR_V1U is 1080p but this is HVR_V1U 1080i.
The camera is perfect weight (not to heavy to get tired too fast, but not to light so it won't shake much when recording). Smooth pictures in every type of frames (30p, 24p.).
I've had to boost to hyper gain which is an extremely grainy picture. Bought the camera sight unseen, which was a mistake. I shoot in a lot of low light situations, which this camera DOES NOT do well in (my old digital 8 camera blows this away).
Wish it would have another accessory shoe, one is just not enough.All in all, the camera works great, the images are very cinematographic, stabilization is very useful, can be tweaked a lot, its as reliable as the sunrise.I like the new Z7, but for what we do, the V1 works like a charmf3 We use this camera in a controlled environment, 5.5kw of incandescent light, and the images are sooo nice. The camera has been setup to shoot 24p all the time, and the color tweaked by me and a colorist, and the results are amazing.Our casting company uses it about 90% of the time, we record to a Focus FS 4 and to tape simultaneously.The Optical stabilization works amazing when hand held, the mic is not so good, but at least it's there.
I bought my HVR-V1U and have had it a week now. But the quality is low and of course there is no sound when you do this.Everything on the camcorder is made very well. In low light the quality of this video camera is poor. 1) Size - This camcorder is about the same size as a VX-2000 with the same feel and pretty much the same layout.2) 24p - This camcorder can shoot film in true 24p which is great if you want to give your video that "Film look"3) XLR - This camcorder has 2 XLR inputs to put real good microphones on it if you want and comes with a $230 microphone.4) HDMI - This model has an HDMI out so I can quickly and easily with one cord connect it to my HDTV.
My extended battery lasts around 490 minutes record time or about 690 minutes on playback mode.The extended warranty Amazon offers on this model for 4 years is only $199.99. No cheap buttons or parts. The bigger the lens usually the better the low light quality since the lens can let in more light. That is a really good price for a camcorder this expensive.Bottom line: If you want all the features of this model but want the best low light recordings possible, then purchase the Sony HVR-Z1U camcorder which is another $600 or so. The battery that comes with it is ok, but you definately should buy the biggest battery you can get. I am very impressed with the quality of video with very good light.
Disadvantages: It has a 62mm lens. The XLR is worth it because sound is usually the weakest link when watching any video recorded on a camcorder. But after doing hours and hours of research I decided on this model for a few reasons. The Sony HDR-FX1 doesn't have this.I think the slow motion feature is pretty cool to experiment with.
