GR-D395 the Noisy cam!

bydjcaseanova Mar 24, 2006

Pros Small and lightweight focus/zoom features lighting options REMOTE!!

Cons This is the only CON, it's extremely loud!

Pros Simple Setup, Excellent Picture Quality, Image Stabilization

Cons Poor Sound, Bad in Low Light

Recommended it? Yes

After some heavy web surfing, viewing of samples via YouTube clips on the web I finely took the plunge and ordered this little bugger. Now that I’ve had it for a while to try out I can give it a good recommendation, if you’re looking for an inexpensive video camera that is.
