My First DV (or camcorder of any type)
Post by: nereid - Date: 2005-03-12T04:41:49.000-08:00 Author's Rating: 5.00 rating
Pros: Optical stabilization, fast zoom, fine DV images with good sharpness and color balance. Firewire.
Cons: Poorly designed, easily turned on power switch. Pathetic still images.
The Bottom Line: The only affordable optically stabilized DV with the form factor I prefer for UW housings

Great dual-purpose camera
Post by: jonwmtay - Date: 2004-09-15T08:01:33.000-08:00 Author's Rating: 5.00 rating
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.
The 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.

I paid $1135 for mine at B&H. Worth every penny of it!
Post by: moonrise - Date: 2004-03-05T07:08:42.000-08:00 Author's Rating: 5.00 rating
Pros: Performs like a prosumer cam should. Feels good to the hand, steady shooting.
Cons: The on-board nightlight is an asinine feature.
The Bottom Line: Good bang for the buck. It's not often I buy something the equals the hype.

Excellent DV Camcorder (Mac OS X User)
Post by: changcy - Date: 2003-10-01T17:44:57.000-08:00 Author's Rating: 5.00 rating
Pros: Mac compatible, excellent video quality and zoom control
Cons: Extreme low-light situations does result in video degradation
The 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.
