Moultrie Game Spy I-60 Infrared Flash Game Camera with Built-In Viewer Review

I was really impressed with this camera... I raise chickens and had a
marauder stealing hens from the coop. I could never find any evidence of
what the thief was until I installed the Moultrie Game Spy 6.0. The first
night out, in total darkness, it caught the culprit on video... it was a
Bobcat!! I have since installed an electric fence to keep it out.
The Moultrie 6.0 is very easy to setup and use. I highly recommend it. I
have used it several times to video wildlife. Once they're on video, I
can easily connect the 6.0 to my TV and show family and friends what's
out there.
Thanks!!

Panasonic AG-HVX200 P2 HD Camcorder Review

We just received an AG-HVX200 and I tell you, it's got more menus than a powerhouse Chinese restaurant. It's not for people who enjoy the pyro-friendly camera; there are menus with the depth of a 15-layer cake. The reason is because the camera can be configured into over 100 different ways of shooting.

The HVX200 gives the new user a challenge to sink or swim, because it thrusts you into deep water. If you've ever shot with the DVX100, you'll adapt to the HVX quite well, from other reviews I've read. I'm a still shooter for a major city daily newspaper, and we're moving towards high definition gear to shoot movie clips and pull frames for news print. With this in mind, the camera's color retention are quality. But I wish the configs were a bit simpler. It will take time to learn a new format of news-gathering, but I see the potential with this gear.

One big drawback that I see is that the menu buttons are on top of the camera, beside and beneath the handle. Try shooting in the field and change your recording format, and it's an awkward feat to accomplish, since you're looking through the viewfinder (or watching the fold-out screen) as you scroll through the layers to figure which is the best recording format.

Would I consider giving this camera up? Hail, no. It's a powerful tool, and the result is what the image quality is about. The color shift with reds and greens and blues are minimal, unlike other samples from competing cameras that I have seen. This, coupled with the ability to drop files into a PowerBook with Final Cut Pro makes it a fast and efficient companion to get files changed to .mov format to drop them into ftp for web publication.

Delete unwanted files as you record. Drop the files onto a hard drive and wipe your P2 card to shoot some more. But you'd better have your software and hardware in order before you plunk down $6,000 retail,, just for the camera (and no mounted boom microphone - sold as an acc). A 4gb card sells $600, the optional 100gb Firestore costs $2,000 (which is about the same price as a couple 8gb P2 cards), Final Cut Pro 5 costs $1,000, and you aren't even talking about the need for a GOOD fluid head tripod ($500), wireless microphone system ($500), blue ray DVD burner (for the multitude of gigs of recording files), extra batteries and perhaps a large external drive to store clips as you figure how to keep all the hundreds of gigs of files from overloading all your open drive space. The HVX eats drive space like a great white eats people. It doesn't think, it just does, and at up to a gigabyte per minute.

Even with working for a newspaper, we still have to adjust our budget royally to get what's needed for one HVX camera. Add filters or a 4x4 filter system and, yeesh. Or, kerching. It's bling bling for the developers, while you've just spent the same amount for your camera, just to get it up, and running.

**Rule of thumb, boys and girls: plan to spend double the camera's cost to outfit a system; aka, you'll have to fork out over $11,000 to effectively shoot in the field and edit in-house.**

For those in the pro field, it's probably worth it. For the casual user, or someone just getting into indie film making or trying to make money off the business, it might be worth it to wait. The HVX200 is a groundbreaking camera, like digital cameras revolutionized photography. Tapeless production will be adopted and will change the face of video production in the coming years. The price will drop as others compete for market share.

Sony HDR-GW77V/L High Definition Handycam 20.4 MP Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoom (Blue) Review

This is a product with so much potential, I hate to give it a poor review. The truth is, they pushed it out the door before it was ready. It has so many compromises as to render it frustrating in actual use, in ways you probably would not notice while playing with it in a store.

Examples: Assuming you are in interlaced mode then you can take a still in the middle of recording a video. Nice (although for some reason you can't do that if set to highest-quality progressive mode; I'll give Sony the benefit of the doubt and assume there's a technical reason why not). Naturally, you can take a still photo while in "video" mode but not actually shooting video. But maddenly, if you are in still mode but just hanging out, you cannot record a video. Obviously the camera is capable, because you can make several selections and get there. It's a bug.

Another frustration: the camera constantly pops up warnings and reminders that you must clear to proceed. There is no way to override these messages to prevent them from appearing. In some cases, these messages completely prevent you from using the camera. One example (out of MANY): the camera does a very nice job of shooting panoramic stills. But shooting one underwater is a bit challenging. Well, if for some reason your panoromic still doesn't work out, the camera pops up a message that it didn't work properly and you must clear that message before trying again or doing anything else. That's annoying, but there's a darker side to this...nearly everything about this camera works solely through the touchscreen, which is DISABLED underwater. Which is probably just as well, because the LCD is essentially invisible underwater anyway (I have $50 point-n-shoots whose LCDs display fine underwater so it is not a fundamental law of physics here). So if you are snorkeling at the moment, your camera is essentially dead because you can neither see nor clear the error. Indeed, over and over again I wound up simply closing the LCD, opening it, and allowing the unit to restart rather than go through the otherwise required series of touchscreen inputs that the camera expects (in this regard, the LCD opening/closing acts as an undocumented "reboot"). But I missed lots of shots in the meantime.

As noted in other reviews, the touchscreen is touchy at best, often requiring several taps before it recognizes the input. That's annoying. Unfortunately, the bizarre way Sony has elected to perform playback makes it something worse than annoying: you don't simply play a still or video back, you have to cycle through a sequence of nested "collections" of combined videos and stills and then scroll through them. If you have a hundred to scroll through and the touchscreen only recognizes one out of three touch inputs, you're in for a long wait. And heaven help you if you decide to delete #112 out of 240, bcause when you delete a still or video it returns back to the very first one, not where you left off at, so you have to start scrolling all over again.

This camera is touted as 20 megapixels but that's typical Sony hype. It is 5MP. Shooting at the highest or even medium settings simply blows up the existing pixels and introduces lots of noise. This is not so noticeable in daylight (but you could acheive the same results by blowing up a small still in Photoshop), but in low light it is deadly - the "low lux" setting combined with "high res" (hah!) introduces massive orange and yellow color patterns. On the plus side the flash is quite powerful and easily adjustable, although for some reason I was unable to get it to work underwater.

The lens, or more specifically the glass covering the lens, has no automatic or even manual cover so it will get scratched unless you are extraordinarilly careful.

Battery will last no more than 20 minutes, so you will definitely need a spare. Note that third-party vendors on Amazon sell spares for a fraction of what Sony charges; I have no experience with one or the other.

But ultimately, the reason it is going back is because of a software glitch that causes it to fail to turn on about every fifth try. In desperation I figured out an emergency workaround: open the cover, remove the battery, wait five seconds, put the battery back in, open the LCD, and wait for the full boot sequence including clearing several messages. So about 30 seconds between realizing it is not turning on until it was ready to shoot. Obviously if I was underwater I would have been screwed - you can't open the battery compartment underwater, and with no ability to see the LCD you wouldn't know you needed to do something in the first place.

If Sony had spent a little more time debugging and improving the software then perhaps 80% of the problems would have been fixed and this might be recommendable. Hopefully a software patch is in the future, and I'd reconsider my decision if the software was markedly improved. But it will take more than software to address the LCD underwater issues and the poor battery life - and no amount of software is going to make this a "20 megapixel" camera - that's simply dishonest.

PROS: Incredibly portable, excellent (in fact for the size, amazingly excellent) video even in relatively low light. Pretty good image stabilization (but like all digital stabilization, it ruins rapid pans so turn if off if you're going to be panning a lot).
CONS: Battery life, too touchscreen-centered, terrible low-light stills that get worse with increasing (fake) pixel size, inexcusably buggy software. Provided software does not output in full HD so you'll need third-party software to really take advantage of your videos.

Additional thoughts/recommendation to Sony: the "MyButton" feature that lets you assign up to three software functions (I selected "flash on/off," "flash intensity," and "panoroma shooting") to three special icons on the touchscreen is a great idea. But they're useless if you cannot see or use the touchscreen, such as underwater or in direct sunlight. ADD SOME REAL BUTTONS to the unit (besides the existing zoom in/out and "shoot" buttons) and allow the user to assign "MyButton" functions to them.
