Best at pure video
Well-built body
Resulting recording time of 83 minutes is disappointing
'Smarter-than-average autofocus .'
'best video quality'
'Given the low, low prices, the small, low-resolution LCD screen is understandable. '
'The Panasonic HDC-HS60 is surprisingly small for a 120GB camcorder.'
'With Instant AF enabled, the autofocus works quickly, and the Push AF, which activates an Instant AF override in manual-focus mode, speeds manual focus considerably.'
'very soft and noisy video'
'Easy to copy files onto an external source, just drag/drop. '
Clear Photo LCD Plus display (230K)
'Low-light movies are particularly poor, though, due to heavy noise.'
'overall size small'
'We were pleasantly surprised by the smooth and speediness of the zoom function and the clarity of the footage we got.'
'high-quality video'
'The quality is quite good, particularly indoors, there was little jarring noise.'
'the main zoom is large and the record button comfortably placed for the more traditional HandyCam posture.'
'nice, large zoom rocker switch'
'We don't like how the text scrolls (it is a bit slow and hard to read), but we're happy to see this helpful information on the menu screen.'
'The new GZ-HM1 HD Everio offers a full slate of technologies to optimize picture quality and an array of manual controls for creative flexibility. '
'Special shooting modes for capturing subjects lit by a spotlight or other specific sources can be helpful.'
'unique shooting functions'
Very strong color and noise performance
30x optical zoom lens
'The camera is so light it almost feels like there is nothing there.'
'The HF M31 has 32MB of flash memory built in, which is enough for three hours of footage at the top quality mode. '
'It is also capable of taking excellent looking video — especially in bright lighting. '
'It does not include a Mini HDMI cable, which is poor considering the price.'
Good amount of storage with 4GB of built-in memory
