Definitely Professional Considering...

Pros: Great colors, look, price! Vivid black, ergonomic controls, Shoulder pad, Manual overrride. 16:9, EIS.

Cons: Multiple functions on buttons. Weak headphone amp! Only 1 chip!

Bottom Line:
digital colors and resolution don't denigrade like analog format during transfer, you will get better than S-Video results. No one will notice it's 1 chip, plus it looks good. Read More
