Excellent DV Camcorder (Mac OS X User)

Author's Rating: 5/5 stars  

Pros: Mac compatible, excellent video quality and zoom control

Cons: Extreme low-light situations does result in video degradation

Bottom Line:
For those wanting a Mac compatible, with potentially near 3CCD quality camcorder in a fairly compact unit, one cannot go wrong with the optura xi. Read More

Bottom Line:
The only affordable optically stabilized DV with the form factor I prefer for UW housings Read More

I paid $1135 for mine at B&H. Worth every penny of it!

Author's Rating: 5/5 stars  

Pros: Performs like a prosumer cam should. Feels good to the hand, steady shooting.

Cons: The on-board nightlight is an asinine feature.

Bottom Line:
Good bang for the buck. It's not often I buy something the equals the hype. Read More

Great dual-purpose camera

Author's Rating: 5/5 stars  

Pros: Ease of use, good photos, great video, nice lens and accessories, Canon optics.

Cons: Switching between memory card and tape (awkward), eject interferes with quick-release plates.

Bottom Line:
A great buy. You can get a 1000 bells and whistles on a camcorder for much less, but in the end - software can't make up for lousy optics. Read More
