Sony Misc music/audio gear

The Sony DSR PD170 P is a beatuful camera, that will record in full HD and look GREAT. This is not a camera you want to get if you just want to shoot some video blogs. This one is for the big stuff, like recording a game, or an event. This camera can make you some money in the video recording field, becuae this is the quality that people play for. Very easy to use, turn it on make some minor adjustments depending on lighting and you are good to go. This camera records great in low lighting situations, that is why the price of this camera is so high. Because you are going to have to pay for this quality! When you are looking at the screen while recording you will be able to tell just how good the quality is. I suggest going to a store and just messing with this camera for about 20 minutes and you will be sold. Overall a great camera, but its expensive and out of most peoples budget. But this isn’t for the youtube bloggers, this is for mini films. Shooting sporting events, or weddings. This camera is a professional camera and Sony always delivers a great product and support. This is a must have if you can afford it. The one thing that blew me away with this camera is the on board mic. The Mic that comes with this camera will give you crystal clear sound, almost like if you had a boom mic and were recording some great audio. This produces great audio and video, the camera is very light and easy to carry around, which is a plus for anyone who will be using it. You can have this camera out and recording whatever you want in no time, power it up and hit record!

- For how long have you been using it? A few hours. So i'll update the review at a later date. - What thing do you like most/least about it? The sound is detailed & clear & dynamic, all good! The player is SOOOO SLOW!!! Takes ages to read a disc & start playing...really annoying. There is a slight tick when playing...you need to be close to hear it though. THERE IS NO VOLUME ON THE REMOTE!!! GRRRRRR!!!!! Also, it has optical out and no coax. - Did you try many other models before getting this one? I had a Philips CD723 before this. It was less bulky, looked better, was 10 times faster & had volume on the remote. - What is your opinion about the value for the price? The sound is great, sure, but every player should have volume on the remote and it's unforgiveable that the damn thing is so slow. If it had been £60 i could understand, but it was £110 (actually it was 159,50€). - Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?... No. I'd go for one that has volume on the remote, and i'd try to find a faster one.
