My dad. Oh! He has always been fond of cameras. Infact he is fond of photography. So its a natural thing that he has a collection of most beautiful photos captured by him.(Hey he is not a photographer.... Just joking).
Last November, we had planned to go to Manali. Infact Dad had already visited the place before, he wanted to take the whole family on a dream excursion. Now, its obvious that u will always carry a camera with u on a holiday. We were already having a Minolta camera with us. But this time, Dad just made up his mind to purchase a camcorder. As they say that u should not delay a good work. So after a survey of only an hour, he bought this masterpiece for about Rs. 17000. It was really a worth of our money.
Slowly and steadily, I began to explore this trifle in which we can capture the world. There r a whole lot of functions. Apart from the white night lamp, it has a night shot to view things in a complete darkness. It has a perfect digital zoom ranging from 20x to a whopping 990x. It can even capture the smallest particles in a large range. Infact the zoom helped me see the craters and even the black spots on the moon very clearly.
Coming to the picture quality. To describe in one word- its SPLENDID. Other functions include fader(to add transition effects), backlight (to enlighten a dark face of somebody) and focus (to clearly see the blurred images caused by som external agencies).
There are a whole lot of Photo effects and Programs for any landscape or situation. This gives u a perfect picture quality for a perfect situation. We can even assign titles in different fonts for various situatons.
The sound quality- its stupendous, marvellous and magnificient. The recorded sound is stereophonic. Some singing competitions I won have been captured in it and when v see the video, v actually feel that I am singing live.
There is an option available for steady shot. Thru this, we can capture still photos. Of course we cant print them, but some beauties of nature can be enjoyed using this steadyshot. And what else do u want at a reasonable price. The camcorder with the option of printing the photos costs over 32000. Moreover we have a Camera and we capture the still moments thru it.
So the bottom line is that u cant get a better value for ur money. My advice- Purchase it now.
