Frbiz.com, one of China's leading B2B search platforms with more than 30 B2B industry websites to its name, analyzes several kinds of HD digital camcorders.
Canon HF100: 6,179 yuan.
The Canon HF100 is high-quality, with a 1/3.2-inch, 3.31 megapixel full HD screen, a 12x optical zoom lens, a built-in Super Range OIS optical image stabilizer system, a high-speed DIGIC DV II image processor, the processing speed has been improved significantly. In addition, the camcorder is equipped with an external microphone port and HDMI high-definition interface.
In the high-end market, the Canon HF100 is a very good blend of existing technologies. Although the features are fairly common, the quality is really first-class. At its current price of 6,179 yuan, down from 8,888 yuan, it is quite reasonable. In the short term there is still a small possibility of additional discounts.
Sanyo DMX-HD1010: 6150 yuan.
The Sanyo DMX-HD1010 is an upgrade of the DMX-HD1000 with some distinct characteristics. The price is relatively reasonable; the biggest improvement is the upgrade to 4 megapixels, a 1/2.5 inch screen, and a high speed CMOS sensor, which can shoot 60fps full HD video at 448 x 338 resolution. This product really is top-of-the-line.
In addition, the machine also supports 1:5 slow-motion playbacks; the picture is more coherent than the average slow-motion playback and smooth. The camcorder has a 10X optical zoom lens, sufficient for most consumers, and ISO sensitivity of 3200. The device also has facial recognition software technology and continuous shooting speed of up to 7 / second.
Sony HDR-TG1E: 6111 yuan.
The Sony HDR-TG1E has a titanium shell. With its Exmore optical sensor and 2.1 megapixel camera, users can shoot Full HD video and 4 megapixel static images. The camcorder's professional-grade Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens has 10x optical zoom. The Sony HDR-TG1E is user-friendly and has the popular face recognition capability, which is not only enabled in static shots, but also in AVCHD format and in the playback.
The price of this product will not drop substantially in the near future; Sony sought to create a high-end product, similar to the G1 digital camera, so they will control the price very carefully.
