Is this still considered a good HD camcorder

Since I purchased this item in 2008 I have used this cam for many music-recitals. It is easy to use and perfectly compatible with my mac. I like it's not only video quality but picture. Even though it was born late 2000 but still quality is good.this is a link for my project and sound is not from this camcorder. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNL9FtCz2GU&list;=HL1389628136

Bill,I can vouch for the Flip Ultra that looks good on TV so I would think the HD version looks even better. I was comparing this camcorder with Kodak's new HD Zi6. I think that it can record at 60 frames per second instead of 30. It would be good if anyone has seen a comparison of the two to share on this forum.Mike

Picture quality is pretty good. I have a Canon EOS which is amazing. But this camcorder is pretty good.

Yes this camcorder does take excellent action shots, and for the other post you get the MAC software from the Creative site and it works with the original Vado HD.You can buy the original V-HD with 8 gig for less than the newer version. No difference other than color, memory and software. You can get the software you need from Creative.

I'm not really sure. I didn't have a problem with it taking HD video, panoramas & still all day. I did buy the extra charger and 2 batteries that I kept charged just in case. I just switched out later in the day and recharged the one overnight. I love this camera.

This would be a nice camcorder for beginners, it's main flaw is it's lack of a fully manual operation, which is a must if you're learning how to shoot video in general, as most professional shoots are done using custome settings in manual mode of the camera.I would recommend getting a video optimised DSLR, becuase it has a big sensoras it would give you a more "cinematic" feel to the video

Looking at "true full" HD and omitting other characteristics is like choosing a digital camera based solely on megapixels. The lens quality, aperture size, and CCD quality/size are also very important. A "full HD" camcorder can be vastly inferior to one that isn't full HD because of variances in these characteristics. Signal to noise ratios are critical to image quality.

I'm not that familiar with your current camera, but I tell you I am very happy with my new video camera. I don't know if your camera offers HD video or not, but that's one thing that makes this one great.

I have a question about this also...Is this a one-time use camcorder or can it be re-used?I am thinking the latter, just by virrtue of the selling price...Many thanks in advance!

It is good enough for casual recording and youtube quality. If you want better quality, you need to consider Vado HD which is more expensive.

No, mines is like yours, no hd...This is a poor quality camera and I still have problems with it tilll this day. Sometimes the color will not even come in and shows black and white.

Of course the main reason to buy this camera is for shooting HD video but it is acceptable with still images as well. The image stabilization helps to freeze the action but not as well as a dedicated SLR or higher mega pixel point and shoot.

This camera is so old and outdated, I would go with something way newer. Horrible in low light. HDV tapes....go with the Sony HXRNX300U.

Playback on your standard tv should be pretty clear, but since it's not HD it will just throw out any extra data an HD camcorder can capture. Remember that the fs10 is not an HD camcorder, it is standard def. Also remember that "HD" is a marketing gimmick unles youre spending $700 or more on a camera with a large ccd sensor that can truly take advantage of a HD camera. Also know that at the moment the files an HD camcorder can produce are LARGE, and hard to handle.

I'd be curious about this as well. I bought a standard definition FS200 which had really grainy, poor video quality. I'm ready to pay extra for the HD version but would like to know how you like the video quality of of the HF200 so far.

Check out the review at camcorder info dot com.It beat out all others in its price class that it was compared to in the review, (panasonic, jvc, sony).However for $400 more (double the price) the canon HV-40, for instance is really outstanding, and for $650 there are a couple better choices.

Video quality from the camera is great. Just make sure you're using the STM lenses otherwise you will get the motor noise when it's focusing. Also, autofocusing with video is a little slow to lock-on compared to most camcorders today.
