'The XL2 utilizes its 4:3 chip in a way that is unique among 16:9 modes.'
'anon's new XL2 camcorder offers an evolutionary design and new professional features - including a choice of 60i, 24p or 30p frame rates, 4:3 or high resolution 16:9 aspect ratio, new 680,000 pixel progressive scan CCDs, and a full line of customizable controls for cine-looking results'
'Also present are relatively useless buttons for battery info'
'This new three-CCD ultra-compact Sony Handycam DCR-HC1000 Mini-DV camcorder aims to distinguish itself with a 90-degree swiveling hand grip, which lets you shoot from awkward angles.'
'It's great that Sony is including a full set of manual controls, but they become virtually impossible to use when they are shoved into the ease of use badlands that is Sony's touch screen.'
'The catch is that the competition now offers features that this camcorder simply doesn't have, including professional audio connections, 24P and HD video, sophisticated image-parameter controls, and interchangeable lenses, to name a few.'
'Sony was smart to improve what matters, the low light performance.'
'DCR-VX2100 MiniDV Handycam® camcorder, offering one of the brightest video results of any three-CCD MiniDV model.'
'There is a very slight color bleeding between deeply saturated colors, particularly reds and greens'
