Want to Move Freely? Forget the Viewfinder. The Sharp Viewcam VL-A10U does not have a viewfinder - you frame your shots in its 3-inch 270° rotating LCD, the largest screen you'll find for the price. You'll either love this method of shooting, or feel lost without a viewfinder. If you want to keep your eye on the scene, not in that little square, this is the camera for you. ??This Viewcam's swivel LCD screen lets you move the camera away from your face, so you can watch the kids while you record, shoot over crowds or even point back at yourself to add some narration. The prominent LCD screen, with its manual brightness control, is also well suited for in-the-field playback. You won't miss any important shots, because an indicator keeps you up-to-date on the remaining battery power and tape length. This feature is particularly important because LCD operation burns more battery power than a viewfinder - but it's still a good idea to carry a spare battery.

Great Beginners Camera

Pros: light weight, large display screen
Cons: none
When shopping for a video camera, my main concern was that it would be easy to use. I had never owned one before and had seldom used one.
I chose the Sharp VL-A10U mainly because of the display panel. All of the features are displayed here making it very easy to use.
Some of the options that I particularly like are being able to choose different backgrounds to record on, and the zoom.
The camera's 16x zoom is absolutely amazing. I am able to sit in the bleachers and zoom in on just my son as he plays basketball.
The appearance of this camera is very nice. It has a large, built-in screen. It is similar to one on a digital camera. The buttons are all conveniently located and easy to figure out.
The camera itself is light weight and easy to pack up and take with me.
I believe that I made a good choice for a beginner. I have learned a lot about video photography with this camera.
