Product Review

3CCD nice but poor low light

by houndog , Jun 29, 2004

Pros: Nice price for 3CCD camcorder is all this has going for it

Cons: POOR low-light shooting makes this a disappointment at any price

Overall Rating:

Author's Review

Well balanced camcorder with nice 3.5" LCD screen. The 3CCD imager works well outdoors during daylight hours and in very bright indoor conditions. Moderate to low light performance is HORRIBLE! For virtually any indoor home setting, video comes out way too dark. I sold my DV953 after a few weeks because of the poor low-light performance as I take a lot of home movies with my camcorder. That was even adjusting the settings as much as I could to turn up the gain.

Port placement is also horrible. I use the firewire port weekly, but accessing it under the hand strap is difficult.

These negatives make this camcorder a poor buy at any price. I got rid of mine in a few weeks and bought a Sony 1CCD cam which I love and takes better video.
